Frank's pipes are made completely by hand, from the best plateaux briar and vulcanite/ebonite rod stock. He has evaluated acrylic, too; he occasionally uses it as stem material, but only in cases where it shows advantages for stylistic reasons. Stem and shank treatments made of acrylic, horn and different woods may occur, too. | Frank's pipes are made completely by hand, from the best plateaux briar and vulcanite/ebonite rod stock.

The surfaces and the finish of his pipes and his stem work are top notch.<ref>Courtesy of [ | Frank's work clearly shows his enthusiasm for shapes and lines.

A very nice idea! | The pipes are delivered in a beautiful leather bag. The signature of the pipemaker, as well as an outline of the pipe, are printed on the bag. A very nice idea! | ||
