You earned or should I say urned the blue ribbon.

I can't help but see a face in that vessel. I sure hope the occupant won't be watching from in there.

I was thinking it was Norfolk pine as I know Ron Kent from Hawaii from my AAW member days who by far has done more with Norfolk pine than any one i know. Great wood to work with and you did it again great job.
Check out Ron web site for his work.

Beautiful! And I thought pine wouldn't turn good. Congrats on the award.

Beautiful! And I thought pine wouldn't turn good. Congrats on the award.

Norolk island pine isn't a true pine... I believe it's a species all its own... at any rate it doesn't turn like the pine we have here... it's a tighter grained and not given to the tear out we get in ordinary pine. At any rate, it's beautiful wood to turn... now I just need a source for some more.

Thank everyone for all the kind words... I really enjoy this hobby.
