	Turning briar on a wood lathe is a very fun process. Manipulating the chisel into the fast spinning wood, and watching and feeling the pipe take shape is wonderful.

The pipe is being freed from the rugged shell it has been imprisoned in for many decades.		Turning briar on a wood lathe is a very fun process.
