While Bennie Joe pipes take inspiration from more modern artisan stylings, their execution is often more reminiscent of an earlier moment in the history of ‘hand made’ pipes, one which occurred in the 1960s and early 1970s in Denmark. This would be the transitional moment in Scandinavian pipe making, exemplified by pipe makers such as [[Karl Erik Ottendahl|Karl Erik]], the Skovbo og [[Nørding Pipes|Nørding]] ([[SON]]) partnership, and [[Preben Holm|Preben Holm’s]] works during his early career at [[Pibe-Dan]], when pipe makers were first discovering the potentials of non-conventional pipe making procedures, but had not yet made the leap towards chasing ever-more extravagant ‘freehands.’ This was also a moment before the establishment of the new Scandinavian canon, whose shapes would soon stabilize around a chart to rival the classical Anglo-French one. As such, the question of what a pipe could look like was still very much open; it is this openness that Wibowo’s pipes, with their modest free-form shaping – likely an inevitable product of the low-tech approach – is most reminiscent of. | While Bennie Joe pipes take inspiration from more modern artisan stylings, their execution is often more reminiscent of an earlier moment in the history of ‘hand made’ pipes, one which occurred in the 1960s and early 1970s in Denmark.
