Thanks Ed I've seen another site like this one with solid colors, but I would like something a little more fancy, I mean look at Nording he has bee striped stems, black and yellow etc, where do you get stuff like that. Ive found some possibles on ebay, but I want to see everything that is out there to match the best stem woth each pipe. My briar came in yesterday. I would recommend Juame Hom Briar the blocks are niceand the mediums are a nice size.

You can buy some lucites from Samantha0296 on eBay, don't know what she has for color.

ejames do you know a place where I can order 7 mm tenons ? I used to order from germany but that guy says he has run out of stock for the next 2-3 months

The only source I know of is Tim West and I'm not sure if what he has is what you need.Take a look here-- http://www.jhlowe.com/misc-items.htm The big hairy guy above may know of a source. He's been making pipes for a good while.
