this is the first of four NIP turnings to be finished. It is 7 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 1/8" thick. Soaked in home brew Danish Oil for a period of 3 weeks. Light comes from the top. Thanks go out to Dean in Hawaii for the blanks.

Great piece of NIP you got there, very nice. I love NIP bowls and I usually get the wood from florida, but I would love to get my hands on some from hawaii.
did you soak it for 3 weeks or 15 times over the course of 3 weeks(24 hours in oil, 24 hours out of the oil)???
the shape is beautiful, but my heart goes out to a smaller foot so the glow goes almost all the way around the bowl.

yup, that's the way. it's amazing what happens when the wood changes, isn't it? the first 6-10 submersions not all that much happening, but after that it gets good

I was wondering could this be done with other kids of pine ?

Actually I started see a change right away. thane the changes were very sublte. piece #2 which has much spalting, darkened and was fairly translucent from the start. The oil bath process was less on this one.

funny enough, Norfolk pine apparently is not a type of pine tree, but yes, it works on pine trees as well. actually looks really nice.
Ryan, was this a business that sent you the NIP??

Wow! Very nice! Are the pictures with and without light from above, or after and before the Danish oil treatment?
