Wow, I never knew there were so many American guys making pipes. Guess I will have to start looking at adding some to the collection. Thanks for the list Bigvan.

I think I've taken photos of most of the pipes from the carvers I listed. See my previous posts (I don't want to burn up Kevin's valuable web space by double posting photos).

JPBerg, I've never seen any of Sasquatch's pipes in person but have heard quite a bit of buzz about him on the net. What's that bluish ferrule made from? I like it.

Lee Von Erck in Michigan makes some amazing pipes as well. I have one he made back in 98 that is an amazing piece of brair.

Paul Bonacquisti, Rolando Negoita, Tim Hynick, Colin Rigsby, Robbie Cippola, Premel Chheda, Tim West, Michael Lindner are just a few more that are excellent U.S. pipe makers that do some beautiful work. It would be quite a collection to have a pipe made by every known pipe maker for sure.

Beewrangler, that's a very interesting Von Erck pipe... I've seen his smooth and blasted pipes, but never a partially rusticated.

"It would be quite a collection to have a pipe made by every known pipe maker for sure."

That's my goal. Well, maybe not EVERY known pipe maker, just the ones I like.

It's not that you were "forgotten" Craig. I listed the names of carvers of pipes that I own. I just don't own any of your pipes. At least not yet.

And Wayne Teipen makes gorgeous stuff

"The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

Nice additions, Adam. And thanks for correcting the spelling of Dr. Bob's name. I'm hoping at least a few of these guys show up at the Columbus show in a few weeks.

Bigvan, just a point of clarity - the pipe above JPBerg's post is not mine, it apparently is Mr George's work.

I'm not big on self-promo on these boards, it's not my primary purpose here. But here's a whopping photo-opus of some of my pipes.

Who the hell is BriarBird? I do know a B.B. who makes pipes but I have no evidence linking him to this username. Now I'mthe one who's confused!

Briarbird is a ghost. He is a rebel, an icon, a modern bird for a modern age... he is out there alone, going rogue, operating beyond the pale of all acceptable bird conduct. He speaks for only himself.

Wow. That's a pretty impressive resume.

I guess really I'm asking if his name is Bill. Possibly he goes by mighty ninja madman Bill around here???

What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans, man? That he had wisdom? Bullshit, man!

Pleased to meet you sir.

Seems you've got the enigma and uber-man thing working for you here already - it may be too late to avoid fame and fortune!
