Royal aten

[djacksonky]

Royal Aten was my favorite uncle. I am so thrilled to see his love of pipes lives on through so many. I knew he was a artisan when it came to pipes but I had no idea how much so until now. He would be so thrilled that people still enjoy his pipes. It was one of his traditions that he made each boy in the family a pipe but he would not bore the hole in it until they turned 21. When I married in 77 be made my husband a pipe from a piece of burl wood he found in Ireland 50 years earlier. It is a treasures family heirloom. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.

I am djacksonky's brother and here are some pictures of the pipe my uncle Royal Aten gave me before he passed.
since I am not a smoker, it has never been used.
