I have been a student of pipes for nearly two decades. Over that time, I have bought, sold, and refurbished hundreds of pipes from Bo Nordh, Jess Chonowitch, Lars and Nana, Sixten, and Jorn Micke. Many of these are special pieces that have never seen the light of day, having been passed from one collector to another without ever appearing in public. Below is a gallery of many such pieces. I still own one of Bo's favorite personal smoking pipe, as well as all the unfinished bowls that were on his bench when he died in 2006. Everything else I have either sold or traded away. Please enjoy this treasure trove of photos from the Danish Masters.
