Ken,
Thanks. I added Andy.
And thanks to everyone else who provided addresses.
Anyone have an address for Tony Rodriguez? He seems to be the last

How about Jaden Hew Len? A very promising up and coming pipe maker from
Hawaii? I saw his work last year in Chicago, and was pretty impressed.

Thanks Bear,
I added Jaden to the list and enjoyed the pictures on the link.
That sea slug looking pipe with the birdseye on the front is one of
the nicest pipes I have ever seen.

Lance,
The original list did not have links, so I would have to
start adding them from scratch. I decided that for now it
would be enough just to update it with the same format.
Adding links can be phase 2.
Funny, every time I think about phases of something I
think of the South Park underwear gnomes.
Phase 1 - steal underwear
Phase 2 - ???????
Phase 3 - Profit
