'''Pipe Making History:''' | '''Pipe Making History:''' | ||
I began making pipes in the Spring of 2000. Having been a woodworker for many years, I was fortunate already to posses some facility with a wide variety of tools and machinery. I already had a fairly well-equipped shop, but lacked the specialized machinery needed for making pipes. My first attempt at a pipe was meant as a graduation gift for a friend. It was made from Walnut, with a flat-bottomed bowl and wooden stem. The sentiment was appreciated, and I found I enjoyed the process very much. That pipe still exists, is still in the possession of my friend Perry, and Walnut, as far as I know, is still combustible. This began my love affair with the pipe, and I quickly began ordering the tools and supplies necessary to feed my new passion. | I began making pipes in the Spring of 2000.
