I picked up a couple pieces of Norfolk Island Pine at the Virginia Woodturners Symposium this year and this is my first attempt. Couldn't go for the classic star figure as the branches weren't all in the same plane so ended up with this vase form. It is 8" wide by 6" tall and 1/8-3/16 thick. Soaked it in 50:50 BLO and mineral spirits for 24 hours in and 24 out for about 2 weeks. There are a few areas of translucence but not much due to the heavy spalting, though that did yield some pretty dramatic figure. C+C appreciated as always.
2nd piece was turned much thinner and was able to get the star pattern. It is in the finishing process and will be posted soon.
