From time to time, Stanwell offered ' | From time to time, Stanwell offered what may be called 'reehand' pipes (though this designation was absent on their stamping) which did not conform to Stanwell's shape codes and whose shaping was left to the whim of in-house carver, [[Hansen, Poul|Poul Hansen]]. These 'free hand' pipes were similar in design philosophy to those of carvers such as [[Holm, Preben|Preben Holm]]; they were shaped in ways which emphasised natural grain patterns rather than established pipe forms. These pipes were offered in sandblasted or in smooth finishes and in a variety of stains. As it would be impossible to account for every 'free hand' shape Stanwell and Poul Hansen made, a selection of these pipes are pictured below. | ||

In addition to the freehand shapes produced by Poul Hansen, Stanwell would later sell freehand-style pipes through the 'Chess' line, whose grading ran from Rook (lowest) to King (highest). The production of these pipes was originally overseen by Johann Larsen, before the task was handed over to [[Poul Winslow]]. | |||
