Tony Rodriguez search

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Tony Rodriguez ? I did some searching and couldn't find a e-mail or website for him. I would love to look at more of his pipes. And i can't find a Manz to buy either.

All that I could find out is that he lives (or lived) in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles area.

His mentors were Rick Newcombe, Jess Chonowitsch & Lars Ivarsson. I think he is also on good terms with Tom Eltang & Bo Nordh. If you can get hold of one of them they might be able to help you.

I believe Tony has moved to northern California or Oregon. Rick does live in Los Angeles. If you can track him down, he might be able to give you some help.

Good luck getting in touch with Bo... although if you do, I'd be interested in what he had to say.

Ooops! LOL. I forgot, Bo isn't around anymore. I think I know of a spiritualist who.......

Look here for Cornelius' pipes:

He is undoubtedly one of the very best carvers on the planet.

Good luck,

I have a phone number for Tony Rodriguez. I don't remember where I got it. I haven't called it, so I don't know if it works or what. Now that I'm making my own pipes all my extra scratch goes to tools, materials, and tobak so I can't afford/justify a Rodriguez masterpiece anymore. PM or email me if you're interested in trying and I'll give it to you.
