Hello:
Real name: Joel Johnson
Age: 50
Location: Owasso, Oklahoma (North of Tulsa)
Years a pipe smoker: 2
How you got into pipe making: I have smoked cigars at milestones in my life, but have nothing to show for it or remind me of those special times, so as I approached 50 I wanted to have a special pipe to commemorate that event and fell in love with the art.
Other interesting facts: I grew up in Jenks, OK. I've been a chiropractor for 27 years, married for 30 years, two daughters, and want to learn more about pipe making for myself and maybe give to friends and family. I might trade pipes with others, but don't want to sell pipes I make. I'm currently learning wood carving from an 80 year old Blackfoot Native American who has helped me carve my first few pipes.
If you are in Oklahoma, I would love to meet you and learn more.

Welcome! If you can swing it you should drive up to the Kansas City Pipe Show September 21-23 at the Argosy in Riverside, MO. There will be quite a few carvers there and it's always a great time!
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.
