No, based on my own memory and conversations with other old timers, it is much more likely that Jarl is an old, stand alone company, that went defunct long ago. It probably existed around the time of the original pre-Nording Kriswell designs. Also, it has its own line of seconds under the name "Thayne". I ask myself, why would Stanwell name a line of seconds only to have that seconds line have its own line of seconds? It sounds very unlikely. | No, based on my own memory and conversations with other old timers, it is much more likely that Jarl is an old, stand alone company, that went defunct long ago.

P.S. I don't mean to be rude but someone above called this method of rustication crude. People should be aware that this is simply that person's opinion and is probably the opinion of someone who doesn't know much about pipe manufacturing or wood finish work in general. I say this because this method of rustication is more complicated to execute than either your standard smooth grain or sandblast. It is actually a more advanced finish in that it requires a few more steps to complete. Let me explain. To achieve this finish the pipe must undergo the preparation work for a smooth grain finish, at least in the areas which are going to remain in that finish. A protective substance is then applied over the areas the pipe maker wishes to remain raised and smooth. After this is done the pipe is sandblasted as it normally would be to achieve a typical sandblast finish. The protective substance is then removed and the pipe polished and finished the rest of the way producing a pipe with a combination finish. Personally, I quite like this type of finish because I feel it is elegant, although I can think of much more imaginative ways to use it than the way it is used in the Danish styling | P.S.
