[QUOTE="Niblick, post: 560586, member: 4505"] From everything I've read about Sixten Ivarsson is that he started making Freehand pipes in the early fifty's if the definition of a Freehand is: The freehand pipe bowl is mainly formed by holding it in the hands against a powered sanding disc with some kind of vacuum to remove the unhealthy sanding dust. This gives the artisan pipe maker a better opportunity to follow some of the grain of the briar and to even make sculptural asymmetrical shapes. The tobacco chamber is bored and the air channel is drilled in hand after the pipe has been shaped. In the early 60's he was established with a couple of pipe shops here in the U.S. Google Sixten Ivarsson Pipedia, or just Sixten Ivarsson and lots of info will come up. [/QUOTE]
