He learned how to make pipes under [[Jody Davis (J. Davis)]] and [[Todd Johnson]], and honed his skills in a very short time. He had been making pipes when he was not traveling with his band until 2012 when his career took a decidedly pipe-centric focus. That's when [[Todd Johnson]] asked him to help start [[BriarWorks]]. Pete has been involved in every phase of development at BriarWorks, including design, production, and the daily responsibilities of running a business. In 2016, Pete was promoted to President of BriarWorks and now manages all of the day to day operations. | |||
When Pete isn’t working hard at BriarWorks he spends most of his time being a father and husband to his lovely family Melissa, Bennet, and Lawson. Somehow, he still finds time to make world-class handmade pipes and some excellent salsa verde.. | |||
From the [http://prevostpipes.com/ Prevost Pipes Website]: I bought my first pipe when I was eighteen years old. A three dollar corncob from a drugstore in my hometown of Bakersfield, CA. I’ve always had a love for things that were made by hand, so it was only natural that my enjoyment of pipe smoking would collide with pipe making. | |||
Since moving to Nashville, I have been blessed with a beautiful family, a great job in music, and an incredible opportunity to learn from some of greatest pipe makers in the world. | I bought a pipe kit and spent the next two days hacking away at my first block of briar. The end result was the first Prevost pipe; a smooth billiard nose warmer that I scratched “P1″ into the bottom with a pocket knife. I was hooked. | ||
