[QUOTE="MartinH, post: 159124, member: 1494"] I have carved my first briar, with my second briar block waiting. However, I'm curious as to what, if any, alternative woods folks on this forum have tried. I've done some research, and found that there are a variety of woods that are suitable for pipes. Apparently, at one point in history the Danes were using Beechwood because of a trade issue with England and France. Also, this is probably a very stupid question, but where does one procure said "alternative wood?" I looked at the home improvement stores, and I did not see what I was looking for. But, I'll do some more pocking around. As to the question of why I might want to use a non-briar wood for pipes, I really just want to experiment. :) Martin [/QUOTE]
