I saw a pipe on eBay by this American carver. I loved the pipe so I did a bit of research. Apparently he was considered a very important, up and coming American carver in the early to mid eighties. He only made very high grade pipes and just as he was making his name, he decided that his pipes would never command the money to justify the amount of his time it took to make pipes which were up to his standards. This is about all I could find. Does anyone else know anything or own any of his pieces?
