I consider briar to be much like a finely cut stone, in the way that when you have a nice cut of briar with a good coat it takes on an opal or tigerseye type of look.

Very true. It is a fine looking wood that has a lot of appeal. (or a peel). play on words.

They are a thing of beauty. I would love to have some good quality, hand made pipes some day.

Having done some cutting and filing on Briar, I'd definitely agree it's like a gem stone!  |

The answer to your Mrs is really pretty simple LL. "Friends" ...and that is what you all are. I'm simultaneously humbled and proud to be part of this group. |
