You may remember my 1st attempt with NIP http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...65#post1940665
Well I took the advice that some of you posted, turned down the rough edge and made it a bowl. It's been through numerous cycles of BLO soaking and drying. It could still use some wet sanding and I should have gone a little thinner, but it's still a neat looking piece of wood even without the overhead or backlighting. 6 1/4" x 2 3/4".

A few days later I took another piece of NIP and attempted another hf.
I know the form may not be the most popular, but as I was roughing it down the a more typical form, I "saw" this shape and I went with it. It's not typical, but I think it's kinda cool and I'm happy with it.
This one has also gone through numerous cycles of soaking and drying. It's 5" x 5 1/2".

I don't really have a good setup to take decent pics to show the color and translucense, so I tried a few methods of getting some overhead light, none of which worked very well, so the pics are what they are.
This definitely won't be the last NIP I turn.
Thanks for looking!
