Steve and Roswitha began carving pipes in the 1960's. They travelled to pipe shows and arts and crafts shows throughout the country and Europe selling their pipes and built up quite an extensive loyal customer base. Eventually, it became time to offer their pipes to the retail fraternity of pipe smokers. | Steve and Roswitha began carving pipes in the 1960's.
