    Give some thought to the pipes of American pipemakers such as J.M. Boswell, Tim West and Mark Tinsky, as starters. Great briar, great shapes, and affordable pricing.

    How about that big pipe shop in Madison, GA? Have you been there?

    Hey Todd,
    I will work on some blog entries for these pipe makers. I just don’t have any personal experience with their work. What I’ve seen, I definitely have a desire to own a few. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these carvers and their work.

    I didn’t know there was a shop in Madison. By chance have a web link, or an address to them?

    Happy puffing,
    BBVV

    The website Dead Man’s Pipes has unfortunately closed. Not only was it a well thought-out and designed site, it had some fine, affordable pipes. As his site reads, R.I.P.

    Thanks for the update, Dave. I’ve been meaning to get in here and update these links.
    Regards,
    BBVV

  • So much to do today, maybe some pipe restoration work later.~BBVV~1 month ago
  • @pghpipeclub I went and bought a bench grinder. Fitted it with a 6" buffing wheel. Some say the rpm is too fast. But it works well for me.~BBVV~1 month ago
  • Found about 6 more pipes yesterday. I have 6 pipes to finish before I get to these, and a few that I need to buy replacement stems for.~BBVV~1 month ago
  • Finally! I finished restoring some pipes. They're up for grabs. http://bit.ly/CB5p2~BBVV~1 month ago
