Since my teens I was fascinated with tobacco pipes, the infinite shapes and sizes where mesmerizing. I started making pipe for myself in 2009. I had made close to 50 pipes, and never thought they were good enough for sale, actually I had never even thought about making and selling pipes. One day a few friends saw the pipes on my rack, and were really impressed. They kept asking me where I had purchased them. When I told them that I made them all, they were amazed. (they are simple folk)  ; ) So I sold them 6 of the pipes that day.

All my pipes are unique. All hand crafted, and shaped. No two pipes are alike. Even when a customer asks for a specific pipe, I tell them that it will not be the same, similar, but not the same. Its not because I can't duplicate them. Its that I don't want to duplicate them. I want each piece to be original, and unique.
