Alright guys, this is not a beg. BUT in a way, it is...

I have a delivery of briar coming, but it appears that it wont be here until around the end of December. This is an entirely unacceptable wait for my patience level and I am putting out a call for any of you's guys who have any briar to unload, please PM me!

I am entertaining all PAID offers, this is not a "gimme" request. I don't want any highballs, think affordable please!

Thanks for reading!

Alexander Zavvos on Ebay got my order to Texas from Greece in 9 days.
Looks to be pretty clean, havent cut any of it yet.
Its really affordable too.

I have been chewing on him for a while now...I may bite if he is that quick...I am waiting for Germany right now! Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, and how was the size?

The size in mm is listed in his chart for each grade he sells.
There well be a min and max LxWxH for each grade, and the grade will be part of the listing title.
My blocks were pretty small but I knew that when I ordered.
I got something like 60 blocks for under $200 shipped.
I figure if I cant make a few half decent pipes from my first 60 blocks, I should sell my tools and go back to driving trucks

Hmmmmmmm........$3.33 per block, shipped.

i have said it before, but if you are looking for a few blocks, email tim west at jhlowe.com i ordered last monday, and they were here by wed afternoon. He has, at least in my case, shipped blocks before payment clears, and most of the time before I even send payment. give it a shot.

You'll pay more for larger blocks, but I figured this was best for the first pipes I make.
Gives me lots to learn with, without worrying much when I screw up.

Thanks! That is great to know! I may give him a shot then! Too bad the work Nazis have it blocked or I would go there right now and see his pricing!

I guess that was part of the question I left out! Maybe someday it would be nice if we could all pool our knowledge of suppliers into one location/thread/sticky, with details about quality, service, turnaround time, etc. so we all will have one spot to go for this info!
