-From time to time, Stanwell offered what may be called 'freehand' 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.
