He uses ebonite, cumberland, and occasionally horn for his stem work. Horn is a difficult material for stems, and is only used on straight pipes. He may be the only pipemaker in Denmark using horn for stems. One of Karsten's more unusual shapes is called the Kronen or Crown, and it is cut mainly with a knife. He has made that shape for over 30 years, but perhaps fewer than 15 of them over the years.
