The next pipe on the worktable I’ve been looking forward to. It will be the first time I’ve worked on a pipe produced in Norway. I acquired the Lillehammer in February of 2019 from a seller in West Hartford, Connecticut, in a Lot of 68 pipes. Here is a picture of the Lot of 68 …

The next pipe on the worktable is a beautifully grained GBD. It was commissioned from the For “Pipe Dreamers” ONLY! online collection by pipeman, Doug, who lives just north of Philadelphia, PA. He found The Pipe Steward seeing my posts on http://www.RebornPipes.com thanks to Steve Laug. Doug stays busy with family, sharing a bowl with …

This morning, we got our ‘steps’ in and enjoyed looking at this finger of the Allegheny Reservoir at the Kiasutha …

My wife and I embarked on a 4-month road trip in April from Golden, Colorado, and we will not return until mid-July. We are visiting churches that have supported us over the years in Ukraine, Spain …
I describe this next pipe on the worktable as a Dublin shape. The bowl is slightly canted and has nice lines. It has beautiful vertical grain and that is the main draw-factor of this pipe. This is the second pipe that pipe man Bill from Pennsylvania has commissioned. The first was a Tribune Rusticated Dublin …
The next pipe came to me in what I have called the Lot of 68. The Lot was acquired in February 2019 from a seller in West Hartford, Connecticut, and these pipes have been getting the attention of pipe men in the For “Pipe Dreamers” ONLY collection helping to support the Daughters of Bulgaria, a …
