Thought I'd relay the good experience I had with a recent purchase of some briar pen Blanks. Found a listing for the pen blanks on Ebay and contacted the seller about shipping on four pieces. He gave me a good price for the shipping so I ordered four blanks. He sent them priority mail and sent 6 nice pen blanks plus five other pieces that I can cut up for more and one piece was big enough to make a small pipe--which I have started.Needless to say I will be buying more briar from him. He also has blocks in a variety of sizes.ebuchans,plateau etc. If you want to check him out I have his contact info. No affiliation etc-etc. Just a happy customer!
