Real name: Eric M. Weaver
Age: 34
Location: Washburn Wisconsin
Years a pipe smoker: 17
How you got into pipe making: I originally got into pipe making about 14 years ago when my girlfriend( now wife) bought me a pipe kit at that smoke shop in Lillydale Mn ( now the perfect ash)
Other interesting facts: While I have been a member of this forum for 10 years, I realized today that I never took the time to introduce myself. I apologize for this oversite on my part. I have been making pipes on and off since about 2003. mostly freehands and some classics. I have sold some thru the years but I make so few that I am basically unknown. I am trying to get re-motivated to jump back into pipemaking more seriously and am really enjoying re-reading all the wonderful information on this site. I wish It existed when I first start when I was clamping briar to to my dorm bed and whittling away with a mora knife and some files! Although I guess I am still considered a young guy in the pipe world I have been a pipe smoking for about half my lifetime and there is no other tobacco experience that is even clos in my mind. It is time I try to get out there more and become more involved in the pipe community that I have been reading about for years. I am married and have 2 young daughters. I am also a Potter. For the past 8 years I have been mostly focused on working in the Log Cabin restoration business and supporting my family. Ever year I am able to spend more time working on my pottery and briar pipes. someday soon I hope to be able to work more from home. thanks for reading.
