Elliott Pipes SOLD

SEE BELOW FOR pictures of my ELLIOTT PIPES that have been SOLD.

My name is Skip Elliott and I was featured in the 10th Anniversary - Spring 2006 issue of Pipe and Tobacco Magazine. "NO PIPE BEFORE ITS TIME." 

I am a retailer that loves pipes and supplements the business by making them.  The shape of each pipe is dictated by the grain and or growth rings.  Because of this I can not feel comfortable doing special orders.

Each pipe is a opportunity for me to do something creative.  It is hard to decide whether I enjoy the creativity or the feedback from the eventual owner the most.

In a good month I complete about two pipes.  At 30-35 hours per pipe there is just so much spare time.

I cut my own stems by hand.  Sandblasting is my preferred way of roughing up a pipe but on occasion I rusticate them.  No putty will ever be used to fill an imperfection.

My pipes have been enjoyed all over the world.  Some were ordered by various customers while others were taken there.  One of the more interesting ones was when Dr. Pat Ryan bought two as gifts.  He then took them with him on safari in Botswana.  One was presented to famous big game hunter Johan Calitz the other was for Tony Makris.  Tony has a program "UNDER WILD SKYS AFRICA" that is seen on ESPN2.  These guys all sat around the campfire smoking ELLIOTT pipes in the evenings.  I just wish I had pictures.
