Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Nathan Davis of Greywoodie Fame. Nathan has been known as one of the biggest fans of Kaywoodie, and now he owns the company.

He goes by CrashTheGrey in the Pipes Magazine forums, and is also the organizer of the Capitaland Pipe Show, and has his own podcast. We’ll hear first hand about his exciting journey, and what he has planned for the future of Kaywoodie. At the top of the show, Brian will dispel some myths about the bottom of the pipe bowl.

Congratulations.

Thank you. It is most certainly true.

I’ll take a listen tomorrow.
I think it’s such a cool thing for Kaywoodie to continue as a labor of love as it obviously was for Bill.
Fingers crossed the 40 shape makes a comeback

 

[Sobrbiker]

Just listened to the podcast-outstanding interview, period!
Thanks for sharing all that Nathan!
If I were in the neighborhood I’d offer to help move.

I really enjoyed this episode. Kaywoodie is my favorite brand and I’m happy that the company will continue, and in great hands. It was interesting hearing about the transition and the wonderful news of Bill’s recovery. Congratulations and good luck Nathan!

@crashthegrey I didn't see a before photo of you but the guns look good in the pic at the top of this thread! What did you do to drop the weight and build muscle?

I started with Kettlebell training and diet, and then moved into heavy lifting on a bulking and cutting diet cycle.

Another fantastic interview! I had the pleasure of meeting Nathan at the Las Vegas show and having a conversation with him and a few other guys about billiards, the history of the shape, and its appeal. It was a conversation that drastically influenced how I've seen both pipe smoking and pipe making since then.

At that moment, he was showing off his Driftwoodie, which from what I understand is created by a process which threatens to destroy all human life in the immediate vicinity if done wrong. Even still, he was slinging these beauties at aggressively affordable prices. The only way to maintain such a model is by scale, so there's nobody better to step up to the historic Kaywoodie plate.

Congrats, @crashthegrey, on your iconic moment, though I'm sorry that it must surely be shrouded by a melancholy cloud. Here's to hoping that seeing you work your magic helps Bill along a speedy recovery. Cheers!

P.S.... that Bon Jovi threat was mean, Levine!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Awesome!!! I'm going to have to get caught up.

Thanks for the response. Did you do a specific diet or just watched the calories and kept away from bad food?

 

[LotusEater]

I haven’t listened to this episode yet but I’m looking forward to it. It seems that Kaywoodie could not be in better hands.

High protein low carb, unless bulking, when I simply add in some carbs.

@crashthegrey: Good luck with that chum - I know you will make a huge success out it. Enjoy running a business and meeting a lot of armchair experts. Just remember it is your vision to execute and not the foibles of the masses. The British motorcycle industry only recovered when someone who understood business built a bike that people wanted to ride as opposed to a nostalgia tribute act with questionable mechanical dependability! Look forward to seeing you soon!

Ha! Armchair experts get in quick, even before I took over. Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. Cannot wait to see you. I'll keep some good plug in my pocket in case you are at one of the shows.

Will there be a spokesmodel?

“Meet Kay! She puts the Woodie in Kaywoodie!”​

Love that Nathan is taking over Kaywoodie and keeping the legacy going. It’s important that we keep companies like that around and keep the history going.
