Carsten Idskov is one of the few Danish pipemakers who is better known in his own country than abroad. That is because he has taken part in very few international shows, but, on the other hand, he is a faithful visitor to pipe activities in his own country. One of them is the Danish Championship, where every year he puts on a much appreciated exhibition. And he does not depend on pipe-making for a living, so he can do as he pleases. To Carsten, pipe-making is a hobby and he likes to keep it that way.
Today Carsten makes abnout 150 pipes a year. The briar is mainly bought from Kent Rasmussen and, like him, Carsten takes pipes needed to be sandblasted to a workshop in Aarhus that specializes in sandblasting. The stems are made from ebonite, cumberland, or synthetic amber and the pipes are stamped Idskov DK along with the year of manufacture. No grading system is used.
The tooth from the sperm whale is a favorite of Carsten's and is used often used as an adornment on his pipes, but he also uses a lot of silver rings. Carsten not only makes pipes, he is also an active collector with pipes made by many of the best pipemakers. He also takes an active part in the Pipe Blub of Aarhus.
We are guessing that Carsten was extra happy, the day in 2018, when this pipe was finished! The pipe screams Idskov for those who knows and love his work. The blast is deep and exiting, the color light and warm – matching the Cumberland stem to perfection. A quite large bowled pipe, but yet elegant when you hold it in your hand. A beautiful pipe.
