"When you feel the perfection of nature in its imperfection you are about to discover the key to happiness."

Christian Ruetz | ruetzpipes

pipe maker from Tyrol, Austria

Maybe it was the carving knives of my warm-hearted father-in-law (some call him „Radagast" with good reason) what brought me into a deep connection with nature when I tried to figure out my own pipe making style. Inspired by the perfect imperfection of nature I want to make the world a better place – through creative surfaces, combinations, shapes and messages. Technical finesse, artistically expressed and with a mission: When you feel the perfection of nature in its imperfection you are about to discover the key to happiness.

ruetzpipes: rustic elegance, close to nature tolerance, joyful smoking experience. And: bark, baby!
