Translucent Norfolk Island Pine

[BILL DONAHUE]

This is a Norfolk Island Pine bowl 7 1/2" wide X 5" high. It was the piece intended to be fig. 7 in the latest (April) Woodturning Design magazine article "Translucent Norfolk Island Pine." I screwed up and the wrong photo is shown over the description ""the knots resemble eyes of an animal." You can see that the knots in this piece clearly look like they belong to a cat-like animal.

Simply beautiful, Bill. I feel like it's looking at me.

Nobody move. I smells fear.

That is wonderful.

Great shape Bill!! Coloring is amazing too. Not sure about the foot height though...maybe a bit shorter...or not!

[Allan Ferguson]

Very nice indeed, great color and form.

Beautiful piece. I would love to get my hands on some of that wood someday.

Your NIP makes me want to go back to HI where NIP is plentiful and lots of eye candy. Well done. I did see the article and was wondering about the "eyes" comment. Now I know. Your process is a little different than what some of HI turners do, but gives excellent result.
