That was really nice, thanks for sharing. Nice touch to include the little clips of people around the world that love and desperately wait for pieces of his briar. I never knew that only the brighter outside layer of the briar could be used and the inside is pretty much waste.
A very informative video on Briar and the process! Thanks for Posting 
Hey, I just found that last night, too, all on my own while browsing some of C&Ds vids on different tobaccos. Yes, Great video! Funny little world for this 2 year old video to pop up here in same day. <alt> Great minds think alike! </alt>
What really interested me was how he cured the briar by boiling, then further allowing it to slowly dry.
That has to be necessary to remove the tannins or whatever is inside raw briar burls that would make the smoke taste bad.
And he learned that process, somehow.
The beauty of the grain is something any careful carver might master.
The smoking qualities come from proper curing.
