My name is Benni Jørgensen. I was originally trained to be a joiner, but the interest for pipes has become the passion of my life after one day in 1980 when I visited the showroom of [[W.Ø. Larsen]] on Amager Torv in Copenhagen. I have worked for W.Ø.Larsen since then making straight grain pipes. | My name is Benni Jørgensen.
