All my pipes are finished with carnauba wax which allows the bowl to breathe while protecting the wood from oils and impurities. The bowls are not pre-carboned so you can judge the fine unfinished wood grain for yourself." | All my pipes are finished with carnauba wax which allows the bowl to breathe while protecting the wood from oils and impurities.

From various defunct newsgroup archives, some info on Denny Souers: | |||

Lion Crest sold a lot of pipes that Denny Souers made. Assuming the | |||
pipe you got is in good shape, you got a good deal. Denny Souers pipes | |||
were never cheap. | |||

Denny and his wife make a yearly appearance here in Louisville, KY each year | |||
during our St. James Art Fair. He works from his home in Ohio (Columbus, | |||
maybe?) producing some very unique pieces. I know two lads who have | |||
accumulated 7-day sets of his work! One of these pieces was specially made | |||
for my friend (who is of a rather substantial stature) by Denny after coming | |||
across an especially large piece of briar which yielded what we lovingly | |||
refer to as the Driftwood-special. A definite one-of-a-kind! | |||

Denny has made some great smoking instruments. I have two. He has a | |||
flair for artisan style pipes as well as Danish. He is also a regular | |||
at the annual juried Louisville Arts & Craft Show. He seems to spend | |||
most of his time in Florida these days. After Lioncrest left their | |||
site I haven't seen much of his work, except occasionaly on Ebay. | |||
Enjoy you pipe, it was an excellent purchase. | |||
To see a wide variety of his pipes, go to web.archive.org and look up www.lioncrest.com and go back to 2003, then the Denny Souers link. | |||
