Lindner: Difference between revisions

This will ramble a bit, but it’s all important in the big scheme of things. I make about 100 pipes a year. My briar source is Mimmo – a fantastic friend and also the same source for Teddy Knudsen and many other great makers. I age my wood for about three years, and I allow it to experience the seasons – it allows the wood to learn to take in and give up moisture naturally. My rod stock is from Germany – I never use stem blanks. I do all my own sandblasting. My ivory is mastodon from Canada – it’s been dead long enough. All my pipes will pass a pipe cleaner without ramping the airway – ramping messes up the airflow (in my opinion.) I don’t take myself as seriously as you may think – it’s all about having fun. My favorite music to listen to when working is Electronica (Paul Oakenfold is a favorite) or Jazz (the real deal, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, Sonny Rollins... none of that Kenny G crap). Life shouldn’t be lived without involving dogs in some capacity (eating them doesn’t count). When I want to get away, nothing compares to Traverse City in October. We all need some way to express our creativity to truly be whole.
