A couple NIP

[ryan kelley]

These are the last of the NIP that I have been working on. First one is 8"x5" with a 2" foot about 1/8" thick. Oil bath for 30 days two coats of clear shoe polish. Second is 10"x3" with a 1 1/2" foot 3/16+ thick. Oil bath was the same 30 days no finish just oil.

Thanks for looking. the oil is a home brew of BLO and MS equal parts and alittle gloss wipe on poly added. Soaked for a day dried for a day. I did not weigh them. The only problem with turning NIP thin is that it becomes real fragile. I had six blanks and lost three of them along the way.
