[QUOTE="Crusader Pipes, post: 225939, member: 2302"] Thanks Kyle, I do like to let the briar ,or fossil ivory ,or antler ,or whatever natural material I'm working with talk to me. Briar has been a favorite medium of mine for a long time,but it has really taken over my creative venting. My main sculptural medium was fossil ivory for a couple of decades,it has slowly changed over to briar. Guess that's because I admire pipes more all the time. If block meerschaum was readily available here I would certainly be interested in going wild on that,but there is nothing like briar,the warm ,fantastic colors, the grain ,the smell, the taste ! God knew what we'd love in it ! I do leave the super straight grains for freehands, there are certain blocks that just demand to be only shaped,not carved. Anybody have, or have access to, the book Collecting Antique Meerschaum Pipes by Ben Rapaport ? If anybody loves figurals or just art, this is a FANTASTIC book ! Definately worth the money ! I have LOTS of ideas in briar,will be keeping you guys posted in pictures as they come along. And as always ,would be interested in your ideas too ! Tim [/QUOTE]
