[QUOTE="LL, post: 90015, member: 95"] Briar around the Med is as common as sagebrush in the American Southwest. Many thousands of square miles of the stuff. It will never run out. Especially since the demand has dropped 95%+ in the last 30-40 years. It [b]is[/b] harder to find workers to harvest it, though, but that would just make it more expensive, not inferior in quality. If there is less premium wood making it into the hands of certain carvers (I have no idea), the only logical answer would seem to be how it is allocated by the mills. [/QUOTE]
