I am a piano tuner-technician and piano rebuilder by trade, as well as a musician. I love music and I find musical instruments and the materials they are made from beautiful and fascinating. The musicians, and the musical forms and compositions I work with are a great inspiration to me. I hope to use musical elements and themes as inspiration in my pipe making. I also hope to use some exotic instrument materials as accents in my pipes. | I am a piano tuner-technician and piano rebuilder by trade, as well as a musician.

For many years I dreamed of making my own pipe one day, and I finally did. It was christened as Etude #1, The Piano Tuner's Pipe. Many flaws and mistakes of course, but a wonderful and rewarding experience. I was hooked! New to pipe making, but loving it with a passion, and dedicating nearly every spare moment to either making pipes of my own, or studying the techniques and artistry of master pipe makers. My hope is to one day be among that elite group. For now, I'm hoping to soon be considered among the up and coming.<br> | For many years I dreamed of making my own pipe one day, and I finally did.

Then came the marketing meeting. Ted: “Took a look at the notes, pretty good job Bear. I think that you should also include that Scott Thile started and has maintained Pipedia at considerable personal cost and labor” (Pipedia: the number one repository of pipe knowledge in the world, a priceless resource from which I stolen… erm, ‘researched’ a fair amount of information, and yet never took the time to find out who created the treasure). “I think that level of passion and selfless support to the pipe community is something all of our customers can get behind”. Now sporting what Vietnam vets referred to as the “thousand meter stare”, I replied something like “Yup, mmmhmm, that they would”, and added “Call Scott” to my must-do list. | Then came the marketing meeting.

Please don’t misunderstand, I was the cocky pratt who walked into a marketing meeting with only a partial glimpse of the immense talent that laid within a remarkable man and, to my mind, Scott’s combination of natural modesty and ‘just is’ mindset makes him all that more exceptional. After more than 33 years of association with pipe retail, I can declare that collectors will naturally gravitate to the carvers who not only create magnificent pipes, but who are extremely likable as well. Having described Thile’s work and having talked extensively with the man himself, I’m quite confident that this already popular carver will become a universal favorite.

Some years ago, I started a tradition of making pipes for my three sons at Christmastime, and then added a Christmas Truck to the tradition for my Grandson. Several years I added pens made from briar and ebonite with accents matching those used in the pipes so I could include my father and mother in homemade gifting, while trying to foster a unified theme throughout the items. Some years are more successful than others ;) --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 09:54, 26 April 2018 (CDT) . | Some years ago, I started a tradition of making pipes for my three sons at Christmastime, and then added a Christmas Truck to the tradition for my Grandson.
