[QUOTE="scotties22, post: 412132, member: 2513"] I wasn't saying that everything on ebay is bad. I bought briar my first year of making pipes off ebay.....and a lot of it was bad. Since then I have found some good sources on ebay and have gone to a few cutters directly. more than once I have gone to Steve Norse (Vermont Freehand) for a specific block and he comes through every time. It's all about knowing whos got the good stuff. And that does come down to the experience of the carver. A nod towards Makis: I have been working with his briar for close to 8 months now. Every one of the BOB POTYs I made were with his wood. He sells fantastic briar at great prices! And yes, I know who Mimmo is.....other than the few blocks I have gotten from Steve I have never really worked with it. [/QUOTE]
