With our background in wood working and our love for pipes it just seemed like a natural transition for me into making smoking pipes. I started making smoking pipes in 2013 after a trip to Montana where we were fortunate to get an opportunity to make pipes with Mr. [[Mark Tinsky]]. Mark was instrumental in getting us headed in the right direction and advancing our pipe making. We have become good friends with Mark and hope to get back to Montana to do some fly fishing in the near future. We can't thank Mark enough for all of the help and time he has graciously given us. | [[File:Jim-deschaine.jpg|thumb|left|Jim DeSchaine, courtesy [http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/radio-talk-show/the-pipes-magazine-radio-show-episode-220/#more-10367 Pipesmagazine.com]]][[File:JimDeschaine SmoothBentBrandy.jpeg|thumb|Smooth Bent Brandy, Courtesy [http://www.jdsmokingpipes.com/ jdsmokingpipes.com]]][[File:JimDeschaine BlastedApple.jpeg|thumb|Blasted Bent Apple, Courtesy [http://www.jdsmokingpipes.com/ jdsmokingpipes.com]]] We both have smoked pipes off and on for the last 25 years.

Over the last year I have been working with Mr. [[Chris Morgan]]. Chris has been a big help in improving my technique and advancing my skills at a steady pace. We have had many long conversations on engineering, shaping, blasting, grain and finishes. I can't thank Chris enough for his tutelage and patience. | Over the last year I have been working with Mr. [[Morgan Pipes|Chris Morgan]].

At this time my father is not making pipes. He does hand carve and finish our collaboration pipe. He also is making tampers and leather pipe pouches. | At this time my father is not making pipes.
