Spalted Norfolk Island Pine Vase.

I like the proportions Bob. Nice looking finish.

Nice work there Bob, really like the spalted pattern and the finish. I hope you have the rest of the tree.

Thanks John,
I have been having some problems with WOP, and tried sealing this one first, made a big difference.

Looks like all those white ants & termites did their job and it looks like the second shift did a mighty fine job finishing up this project. It’s a nice looking piece and has a nice looking sheen to it. The 6 months it took was well worth the wait.
Nice work as usual Bob!

Very nice job Bob a bit of a different design to the norm which adds interest,
My SIL dropped a 34 metre tall NP recently but I wasn’t quick enough, it shrunk & split away from all the knots.

Hi Pete,
Yes Mate, ya gotta be quick. I bought some bowl blanks and I turned then green, and during the very slow drying process, they cracked around the knots. Bugger!!!!!
