hi everybody,
Walle persuaded me to show some of my pipes in this forum. So here´s a very short introduction of me and my works. Very short because 1. my English is not the best 2. it´s very late (in Germany) - only my cats are still awake with me - even the snakes have gone to sleep.
I started making pipes in 1997 ... oh, please ... if You want ... read this on my website tarock-briar.de
May be there´s one thing worth to mention: To me pipemaking is an (never ending) improvisation on pipehead - shank - stem just like a simple 3-chord blues chorus.
I try to use the million years old approved methods of pipemaking to create some a little bit different shapes. And after more than 10 years of pipemaking I realize that my skills and my ideas are just at the beginning.
oh shit, that´s wrong!!!
one last - I have to finish - the cat is trying to shred my leg
I hope You liked my intro

Re: cats, cards and chaos - an introduction
Welcome and thanks for taking the time to share your pipes. I took a look at your site and and its no surprise you're a friend of Walle's, your pipes are wonderfully unique. Too many pipes to mention but the rose was a real eye catcher!
Google Chrome didn't want to translate your site for me, ill have to try again later since im very curious.

Re: cats, cards and chaos - an introduction
Unique is a word often misused. But these pipes are unique.

This one is - among others tinkered by Christian - MINE, MINE, MINE:
Christian is engaged in weird hobbies like pipe-making and insect-breeding specializing in locusts and mantis like those:
No wonder that sometimes pipes and insects look alike.
And: Believe it or not: This one´s a perfect smoker!
Cheerio!

Now I know where Walle get's his amazing/crazy ideas....he smokes a "special blend" in that green stem...
