Briar Blocks

Anyone know a good place to get briar blocks to make your own pipes? I'd like to try to make a few. More than likely they wont get smoked out of...but will be just used as decoration. Thanks friends!

I looked into this at one time and saved the following bookmark. Never used this source though.

That's Mark Tinsky's page. He is a very good guy. I knew him on alt.smokers.pipes way back when.

There were some You Tube videos I found pretty good when I was looking at doing this. Ultimately I decided I had too much going on to do it right now, but one day. I'll see if I can't find the ones I'm talking about.

Here we go. This is the first in a series this guy did. He does a good job I think and was one of the more complete lessons.
