A very rare pocket in the sand. Briar is the root ball of the tree in a sandy region, it is hard to find a piece that has straight grain all the way around in a piece large enough to make a pipe with no sand pits or variations and a craftsman skilled enough to see it in the block, as well as able to bring it out in the pipe (then to sand it/stain it... bla, bla, bla, properly)... too many things to discuss here.

I love the blue one in the middle. :thumbsup:

I love the spikey mushroom.

Warm.

Toaster? :question:

And the tubes, they glow in the dark...

Nope! I'm gonna let people guess on this one for a day. :p

Tubes, in an amp or something?

Like I said...

And the tubes, they glow in the dark...

Close enough -- it is a 150W halogen bulb for a torchiere, dimmed.

Two elements? Must be a halogen bulb? :confused:
