[[Image:Lasse Skovgaard.jpg|left|thumb]] Since I was a little boy, I’ve been interested in what my father ([[Benni Jørgensen]]) was doing in his workshop. At the age of sixteen I started to make buffalo horn tampers for W.O.Larsen, and I also tried to make a couple of “pipes”, (my father did not think they looked like pipes) but they were not good enough. | |||

I realized that it definitely was not easy to even make a pipe functional, and it also has to look beautiful and elegant. With lots and lots of practice it got easier, and when I was about eighteen I started to make “two tone” and “select” pipes for W.O.Larsen. | |||

Along with my education in high school, I was practicing making pipes in my father’s workshop. I was nineteen years old when I started to make the W.O.Larsen straight grains. | Along with my education in high school, I was practicing making pipes in my father’s workshop.
