Laugh if you will but I have toyed with it on a lark. Bricks often have too many pocket inclusions, plus they have little chunks of aggregate, at least the couple I've tried. The trick is finding a brick you can set a bevel on. After lapping enough to hone on they were a little fine and hard for bevel set.
I am still keeping my eyes open for one that has even enough continuity and absence of pockets to actually work. I got a little distracted from that experiment which may be a fools errand anyway.
