Piersel is the maker of Piersel pipes. She participates actively at [http://www.pipemakersforum.com/ Pipemakersforum.org], and has also worked with noted Kansas City pipe restoration specialist, George Dibos (Precision Pipe Repair). Scottie states that, "Quality, classic shapes are where my focus lies. I try to stay true to tradition while giving each pipe a little bit of my personality. Clean lines, perfect proportions and flawless drilling are what I strive for and what you can expect from every pipe that leaves my shop. Although I believe form must follow function I endeavor to offer a perfect fit and finish and to make each piece stunningly beautiful." | |||

"My pipe making journey began when my husband decided to take up pipe smoking. I ordered a pipe kit from Mark Tinsky to carve a pipe for Father's Day. Little did I know how quickly I would become hooked. As soon as I finished that first pipe I had to make another. Over the next few months I purchased as many tools and supplies as possible and off I went. With the guidance and support of the fellows at the Pipes Maker's Forum I quickly found what needed to be refined with each pipe I made." | "My pipe making journey began when my husband decided to take up pipe smoking.
