Hi folks! My name Is Paul Menard and I'm a down to earth veteran pipe carver for over 13 years now residing in Oregon, USA. I'm married to a wonderful woman who's supportive of my work and we have two dogs that we love to take fly fishing and camping and hiking! 


 My pipes are of the highest quality in smoking terms and esthetics.  I have received careful instruction from several pipe carving master's in the intricate details of internal engineering and finishing techniques.  My bowl coats are simple three ingredient food grade charcoal coats with no noticeable flavor and enhance the break in process. I only use the highest quality materials available.


My Croatian morta wood is an exceptional bog oak dated approximately 5-8,000 years old. The family owned mill crafts exquisite furniture for Castles and luxury homes in Europe and has been tested and prepared at the very highest standards. My pipe mentor and good friend Davorin has been making fine pipes for over 50 years now and has taught me how to expertly fashion a pipe with this wood. Every single morta pipe has a delrin mortise to prevent breakage in the shank portion for the life of the pipe.

​ My stems are comfortable and have a nice open controlled draw in which the smoke flows effortlessly over one's tongue making the flavor profiles in the tobacco come to life! I still craft my pipes one at a time and produce pipes in various sizes, weights and bowl dimensions so any discerning pipe smoker will find something that fits their personal preferences. 

​Each pipe or call comes with a soft genuine leather bag that I make and source the leather here locally at
maverickleathercompany.com

My Duck Calls are made of fine imported Italian briar and morta just like my hand crafted pipes. The inserts are high quality acrylics with either single or double reeds and are durable and easy to clean. These calls have been tested by many customers and they have complimented me on how well they work out in the field! Each call comes with a lanyard and hand made soft genuine leather carrying bag. ​

I'm dedicated to produce the finest pipes for the discerning pipe smoker and no pipe leaves my shop unless it passes my stringent requirements that are endorsed with the best customer service in the industry. 

​During my career as a pipe carver the one thing that continues to inspire me is the relationships I have created. Many pipe friends have made my life richer and forged my business into what it is today. I'm extremely grateful for all the people I meet and who have encouraged and supported me all these years! It is the people, and the connection of the pipes who have made my life full and happy, so thank you for being a part of my humble little business!!


Sincerely,
​Paul

Here's a little interview I did during the beginning of my career as an artisan pipe carver. Many things have changed since then including the build of several work shops, moving out of state, and improving in my skills and knowledge as a pipe carver.
