Well, there is the ever popular Briar wood, Rosewood, Cherry, Meerschaum, corn cob and I've even seen ebony pipes (but with all due respect, I doubt I can get that for you) and Bamboo is pretty fun too! Then there are my personal favorites, the mixes of different types of timber and brass.
I'll see what I can do! *quickly dodges to one side as a Willow-shaped blur speeds past*

*a loud rumble echoes through the cafe and is traced to the hungry faerie under the students' table.*
Must obtain food while avoiding mother in cleaning mode... the afternoons spent preparing for family gatherings are always the hungriest.

*pokes head out* Thank you!
What color are you painting it? White? I should go finish sprucing up our deck and putting back the slip covers in the living room...

Spyder MR1... I picked it up at a garage sale for twenty bucks, with hopper, CO2 tanks and a few other accessories, but it needs repairs, and perhaps a new auto cocker.
What are your babies?

Very nice! I used to have an A-5 and a 98 Custom till they were stolen... So, aside from this MR1, I'm gunless.

That sucks, my friend. One of these days we'll have to hurl balls of paint at one another.
 Have you used a flatline barrel yet?
