strawberry briar is a similar wood to briar but the grain is a lot more gnarly and swirly, though there are some straighter grained ones that look just like briar. Being a slightly softer wood than briar, it's ideal for gnarly grained blasts. They call it strawberry briar because the berry on the tree/bush looks like a strawberry (nothing to do with a strawberry tree or strawberry wood). If I had to guess, it would be in the same family as briar, but I'm totally pulling that part out my ass
Hope this helps

small plateaux = $15.00
large plateaux = $25.00
jumbo plateaux = $35.00

Here's an eskimo I made out of some Strawberry Briar I got from Steve. The blast isn't very deep, but you can see what the grain looks like.
