The danish pipe-maker '''Poul Winslöw''' is 45 years old but has been in the business for 28 of them. So he was almost a boy, when he started. His first job was with the Danish pipemaker [[Preben Holm]], and I first have to say a few words about this important and, I think, well-known man. | The danish pipe-maker '''Poul Winslöw''' is 45 years old but has been in the business for 28 of them.

In 1967 [[Preben Holm]] was advertising for apprentices to his pipe-factory. Poul read the advertisement, thought it might be something and decided to go there and try to get a job. Well there, he found that a lot of young boys had had the same thought. They were all intervued by [[Preben Holm]] in person and obviously he found that Poul was just the type of boy he wanted, for he got the job. | In 1967 [[Preben Holm]] was advertising for apprentices to his pipe-factory.

Poul still has his work-shop in connection to his house in Hvidovre, a southern suburb to Copenhagen. He has re-built an out-house into a quite small but very well-organized place for pipe production. He works here together with 2 assistants and they make about 900 pipes a year and to-day he has difficulties in fulfilling the great and increasing demand for his pipes from a lot of different countries. | Poul still has his work-shop in connection to his house in Hvidovre, a southern suburb to Copenhagen.

Poul wants his pipes to be colourful and make the owner happy in a - perhaps - rather "grey" world. Maybe this is inherited from his father, who was a painter. He likes to use inlayings in different materials like buxbom, acrylic, silber, laburnum (a very beautiful wood with a rich grain) and others. He also uses a variety of colours from dark-brown to very light. | Poul wants his pipes to be colourful and make the owner happy in a - perhaps - rather "grey" world.
