[SII would dearly love to get my hands on some Norfolk Island pine. Anyone know where I might get some? Either PM me or post here, I check this site regularly.

You might check with Larry Genender. I seem to recall that he told me once that it was one of his favorite turning woods. Or, you could take a vacation trip to the Pacific northwest with your chain saw.
 
I live in S. Florida and we get lots of Norfolk Island Pine. What size or sizes are you looking for? Freshly cut or spalted? I have some in my wood pile but they may not be what you're looking for. I'd be very interested in working out a trade for some Texas Ebony, if you have any. You can reach me directly at tcarter771@bellsouth.net.

Oops, I had the wrong part of the Pacific Ocean -- Norfolk Island is between New Zealand and the land of Oz. It is one of the most widely distributed trees in the world thanks mostly to humans.
