Handmade Pipes by Joe Nelson
Welcome To An Unparalleled Experience...
Nestled in rural southeastern Wisconsin, between the foot of the lake and the Niagara escarpment, lays a modest 500 square foot workshop surrounded by a unique blend of natural beauty. This area has been my inspiration for over 30 years.
I have spent a large portion of my life manipulating a diverse array of raw materials to bring a unique and harmonious balance to my portfolio of projects. It is the subtle attention to detail which, I think sets my work apart and allows it to stand alone.
I have been a luthier since 1998 and started making pipes in 2005. You will notice subtle embellishments I incorporate that mirror those found on my instruments. Briar is a relatively new medium for me, but one that given its very nature, demands a high level of creativity, I find this welcoming. I employ all the latest technology and materials with one goal, to create a pipe that is truly enjoyable to smoke, yet simply unique, and completely utilitarian.
Your interest in an Old Nellie Pipe is much appreciated, you are invited to sit down, light up your favorite tobac, pour some beverage of choice and enjoy as you browse my latest offerings as well as the additional content offered within.
