Looking to buy just a few

I'm looking to make my first pipe, and need a few pieces of briar. I have looked on eBay, but all I see are lots of like 6 or more. I hope that one day I will need that amount, but really don't want to spend the money for that amount of briar until I see how this whole ordeal works out.
Is there anyone willing to sell me just a piece or two or point me in a direction I can find some?
I would be so very great full
Thanks
Keith

You can PM Steve at Vermont freehand on here, or you could order from mark at amsmoke.com American smoking pipe. Both guys are straight shooter who are pipe makers as well so their briar is good.

I've dealt with both Tim and Steve, with nothing but good results. You can't go wrong with either of them.

I have some reject blocks cheap, that are good for practice, to get the feel of briar, they are $2.50-$5 each.
I also have non-reject ebauchons starting at $5.
Pipe kits starting at $15

Why would you go anywhere else. Well unless you needed navy blue Cumberland? Jk. Hey Steve we saw the turret when do we get pics of the warehouse?
