[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 467872, member: 509"] "Well known" is not the same as "top name". Top name American carvers make top-class, and I mean[i] top [/i]class stems. Not gonna name names here on the "a hole with a kinda slot thingy is good enough" but if you look at stems by Herbaugh, Alden, Piersel, Cryder, Gracik, Pohlman, Weaver etc you'll find ridiculously good slotting and smoothness. There's a few guys, a very few guys, who do things way different - JT Cooke being one. But he just gets to because the truth is, he's super meticulous and totally OCD about how the pipes smoke, so whatever he's doing is "right" for his pipes.
