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 has made that shape for over 30 years, but perhaps fewer than 15 of them over those years. | [[File:KarstenTarp.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Karsten Tarp, courtesy [http://pipesandtobaccosmagazine.com/2011/06/homecoming/ Pipes & Tobacco Magazine]]]Karsten's pipes run from classical shapes to more daring freehands.
