@Larry OBrien I salvage it locally here in Tampa. People have planted them around their homes as ornamentals. I usually get it freshly cut and I spalt to my taste & timelines.

Very nice Dan! Have you soaked any NFP for the translucent effect? I just turned a NFP bowl last night and am curious.

What are you finishing these with?

@Daniel Warren Thanks Daniel. I spray lacquer, wet sand it flat and buff on the wheel with white diamond.
Yes, I have done some translucent pieces - and I have some going through that long process now in fact. If you'd like visit my FB page @DS Woodcrafters to see some of my translucent work.

@Larry OBrien I don't sell blanks, but I do try to share with local club members when I get overstocked.

I have been an admirer and turner of red box elder for many years, but these turnings of Norfolk Pine are just superb and I tip my hat to these pieces, Dan!

Beautiful vessels Dan! You’ve attracted a swarm of comments from these sweet pieces. I’ve never worked NFP before; these are a great advertisement for this wood! Well done!
