Jeff is flat out amazing and the scary part is that there seems to be
no plateau effect (at all) to his work of the past year. When Sykes,
Tony and I were the first ones to see the product that he brought to
show/sell at the Chicago Show back in April, at least 50% of what I
saw showed an across the board mastery. Two months ago, that number
was closer to 70-75%.

Here's a recent photgrapic essay our photographer (Bobby Altman) took
of Jeff and Toku-san working on a couple of collaboration pipes when
they stayed with us about a month and a half ago: http://tiny.cc/psQ8f

Best,

Jeff is awesome. Not to be all "I knew him way father back than you,"
but I remember he and I joined pipemakersforum.com around the same
time. Jeff had always been head and shoulders above my stuff. Now
its more like several body lengths. And damn if he isn't the nicest
guy too. Make it really hard to be jealous of him.

Don't forget, he roasts some mean coffee as well :)
