    Just When You Think This Sport Isn't Dangerous Enough...

    After sporting a black eye for half of the summer and a big knot on my head from a cherry log, I thought to myself; this sport isn't dangerous enough.

    For tonight's adventure I thought I would try it in the dark. What could go wrong? Actually, nothing flew and it sure is neat to see that fiber optic light through the cherry.

    Whatever you do don't get too excited and try turning in the nude. That could be very painful.

    Wow! You really positioned that blank wonderfully for a "visually explosive" piece! Did I happen to say, "wow!"???????

    I also do many of my translucent NIP pieces in the dark, I just follow the coloring so the turning looks good underneath a light.

    great job there
