Thank You For Checking Out More Of The Pipes. Please Click On These Photos For A Larger View.

I reserved this page for my two piece pipes, small one piece pipes, pipe racks, "Signature Series", and a few photos of the shop. All pipes can be made in both smooth and rusticated (carved) versions.

In production right now! The 2009 GM Signature Series Freehand Pipe. This one is the prototype for the entire series. It is the first year the official "GM" logo will be on every pipe that leaves the shop.

As of January 2009 these pipe tampers are now available. I have seen similar tampers on line and in shops for more than double the price I can make them for. Please inquire about the price before you purchase anywhere else!

2009 GM Signature Series pipe made of Maple. Except for drilling, this pipe is made completely by hand. It is 6.5" long and has a 2" tall bowl.

The "Man's Pipe" made of Maple and 7.5 inches long.

Custom made for a client, this "Man's Pipe" was the first small version and the first rusticated version.

The "Man's Pipe" pictured from top made from Jarra, Maple and Mahogany woods. Currently in stock and ready to ship is the Maple and Mahogany pipes without stain or clear coat.

"Dublin" style Churchwarden made of Maple.

"Dublin" style Churchwarden made of Walnut.

Leaning "Egg" straight Churchwarden made of Cherry.

2009 Signature Series pipe made from a block of Purple Heart wood sent to me by a great friend and client. I am keeping this one since it is not quite good enough to send to a client. There are tiny cracks and some pits in the wood. It made a nice looking pipe though. I will be smoking this one for sure!!!

The "G Mini" is very popular in my local area. Only the finest hardwoods are used. Three inches long and a half inch bowl. Great for the short smoke!

I didn't make this one. It was given to me by my late Father a few years ago. This is a restoration. It had an ugly leather covering on it and I scraped it off, sanded and buffed it. I didn't know what I would find. What a beauty!

Cigarette holder made from Briar with a vulcanite mouthpiece.

Three place pipe rack made of Red Oak for taller pipes. Hand carved base.

Six place pipe rack made of poplar and red stained. This is my own original design. Made to keep the pipes sitting straight at all times.

The shop.

It gets dusty in there sometimes.

It is amazing how much work can be done in a space only 5X7 feet!

The first pipe of 2009. This year I am going to concentrate on free hand style pipes made from a variety of hardwoods. This pipe is made from Eucalyptus which is a very difficult wood to work with. It's properties are similar to Briar as there are many pits and small cracks to work around.

Me and my biggest fan.....er.....actually.....I am Her biggest fan!

Just relaxing after a day in the shop with one of my personal smokes.

Amazing grain on this pipe. I was given this wood by a client to make this pipe. He didn't know what type of wood it was, but wanted me to make it anyway. On Jan. 12, 2009 I did some more research and finally found out what the wood is. Get ready for this......it turns out that it is Eucalyptus!!! Who would have guessed? I took a trip to the place he aquired it and matched the original sample I had left. I never thought that wood would make a good pipe, but I was pleasantly surprised!

This is a hard and very heavy wood. A pipe to hold in the hand, not the teeth. I am going to make one for my own collection with this same wood. (Update on this pipe) I got to see this pipe again after he smoked it for a month and a half and it still smokes dry, broke in great and actually darkened with age, but still maintains its original beauty. One drawback is that it doesn't hold a shine very long since it is so absorbent.

(Update January 8, 2009) It is not often that I get to track a pipe after I create it since most of my art gets shipped around the country. This was made for a local client and I just had to snap a photo of it. Look how dark it got from the daily smoking. It actually holds a shine now since there has been multiple coats of wax applied in the last 4 months.

The client tells me it still smokes dry even though he smokes more than one bowl a day out of it. It still smokes sweet and the longer he has it, the better it gets. It is always nice to get such positive reviews on my creations. I know my pipes smoke great, but who are you going to believe? Me or a client?
