I have been carving and sculpting since I was a young kid. If memory serves me I started carving when I was 8 or 9 years old. I've always had a desire to create art and pursued to earn a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in The Fine Arts. The very first tobacco pipe I made, that I can remember, was back in the early 2000s, a meerschaum kit I bought off Ebay. About 5 or 6 years ago it broke, but I had to save her so I searched and found a Sterling Silver bent tube to run from the bowl to the shank. I still smoke it every now and then. I started getting more serious about pipe making around 2015 and decided to take it from a hobby for my own use to showing them to the World. Here I will document each pipe I make and perhaps a story or two.
Freehand Briar wood tobacco pipe with vulcanite stem. This design came from the block of wood. It just spoke to me to be bulky yet graceful with a sweeping tail.
Freehand Briar wood tobacco pipe. A straight vulcanite stem, bent pipe that has natural pits, a lipped top, and an unconventional bowl design. You either love it or hate it.
