The first manager of the pipe workshop was Sven Knudsen, but he soon left to make pipes under his own name. The next manager was Hans Nielsen, also known as "Former" (named after the late British actor George Formby, whom he was said to resemble. Coincidentally, in Danish, "Former" means "shapes"). Under the management of Former the workshop grew and W.Ø.Larsen pipes became a prominent name abroad. Among the prominent pipemakers educated here were Else Larsen (Denmark's first female pipemaker),Poul Ilsted, Ph. Vigen, Teddy Knudsen, Tonni Nielsen, and Peter Hedegaard.

A very large and very unusual freehand. The pipe is in cross grain, and could intentionally have been thought as a huge horn. But the right side is flattened, reviling the most beautiful cross grain you heve ever seen. The front of the bowl displays thousands of bird eyes. The pipe is amazing and from the time where pipe makers in Denmark would still challenge the concepts, and some times striking gold. Stamped “Birds Eye 4” by WØLARSEN.
