Today, Kai and Viggo work together in a studio located on the island of '''Fyn'''. Jorgen is making pipes in his own studio. Kai, like his father, selects only the finest aged briar, most of which is Corsican. He also air cures the briar for a number of years to provide exceptional smoking qualities. Kai's handcut acrylic and cumberland mouthpieces are works of art. His attention to detail and creative designs are overwhelming. | Today, Kai and Viggo work together in a studio located on the island of '''Fyn'''. Jorgen is making pipes in his own studio.

Many in North America will see a similarity between Kai's style and that of the highly regarded carver [[Kurt Balleby]].
