'''SYSOP NOTE''': The following article is now very dated but has some excellent information on the early part of Trever's career. It originally appeared in the Profiles of American Pipes Makers series in a 1998 issue of The Pipe Collector, the official newsletter of the American Society of Pipe Collectors [http://naspc.org (NASPC)], and is used by permission. It's a great organization--consider joining.'' <br> | |||

''I discovered Trever Talbert when he responded to my pipe makers survey regarding Bob Holmes' question about unsmoked pipes, despite the fact that I hadn't sent it to him. (Who did? Mike Glukler?) Trever's reply was thoughtful and reasoned, so I immediately suggested a pipe- maker profile. Trever E-mailed me a first-person narrative that was so complete and well written that it appears here with few changes. I'm happy to introduce Trever to NASPC's members, and I hope to actually meet him soon. He's obviously a strong-minded and interesting guy. -- Bill Unger'' | |||

Feeling burned out over the money issue and finding that he was enjoying pipe making more than painting, Trever gradually dropped his commercial relationships. He has done no art for a couple of years except for himself (although lately he has been thinking about submitting some work to Pipes & Tobaccos) and to try and establish a whole new reputation. In fact, his dream is to someday support himself solely from pipe making and painting. | Feeling burned out over the money issue and finding that he was enjoying pipe making more than painting, Trever gradually dropped his commercial relationships.

Congratulations, Trever! Few ever realize even a small part of their dreams. Your work is amazing, and your dedication an inspiration. You have helped and inspired many of us to dream about the possibilities too. Thanks! Pipedia SYSOP | |||
