I've been making pipes part time since February of 2006. New to pipe making, but loving it with a passion, and dedicating nearly every spare moment to either making pipes of my own, or studying the techniques and artistry of master pipe makers. Essentially self-taught, but with constant help and feedback from members of the [http://www.pipemakersforum.com/ pipmakersforum.com]. An amazing resource, several of the members are true masters of the craft, and amazingly generous in passing on their gifts to the rest of us. | I've been making pipes part time since February of 2006.

Pictured bellow-- 2006 Christmas pipe, smooth bulldog: From Algerian briar; Bowl Height: 2.05"; Bowl diameter at rim: 1.74; Overall Length: 6.25 "; Chamber Diameter: 3/4"; Chamber Depth: 1.53"; Hand cut German Ebonite Stem; Delrin Tenon. I find Bulldogs to be an extremely challenging shape. The lines and angles demand symmetry, and show every deviation from it. They have proven to be an excellent study. I hope this is the first of traditional S.E.THILE Christmas pipes. This one and only for 2006 was a gift for my son, John, who loves Bulldogs, and loves Christmas. He reports it's an excellent smoker. | |||
