Latest Pipe Carvings
I wanted to give you guys a quick update on some of my pipe making endeavors. Pipe making is such a joy for me, its quite, your alone with your thoughts, you get to take somethings raw and see it transform into something with purpose and beauty (hopefully) and most of all you can “finish.” Most things in life are perpetual, and seemingly never ending, relationships, parenting (at least for me I have a 1 year old and one more on the way), pastoring/leading a church (I am a pastor), ect. Pipe making allows me to sit back and look at what I’ve created and walk away from it, it’s done, this to me is most of why I love it. Well enough deep thoughts for tonight. Most of you have already seen these pics if you follow me via twitter or facebook, but here they are for the rest of you faithful pipe smokers.
The little black nose warmer and the straight grain Dublin/Freehand style. I’m excited about how this one is going to turn out. Thanks for reading and happy smoking.

Hi Sean! This looks great! You do very good work! I’m glad I can follow you on Twitter and see what you’re working on at any given time. I’d love to be able to make pipes as well as you’re doing. I’ve recently begun making pipes, but have been making pipe tampers (hence my website) for several years, and just began online selling in October of ‘09.
One day – Maybe – I’ll be where you’re at today in respect to making “worthy” pipes. For now – I’ll just have to smoke them myself!
Best regards -
Michael (Pipe Mike)
Mike, thanks so much! Also I love your tampers, great work.
