>About 5 years ago I got some and turned a beautiful bowl. At a art show I sold it and had an order for another. I searched all of the suppliers that I knew at that time and was told there was no such thing. These responces made me fel quite stupid.

Thanks for this as it gives me faith in my mind again.

>Jamie,

The truth is that Doug Barnes, the instructor / Head of the Woodturning program gave it to me! I assisted him, last week & brought him several Norfolk Island Pine logs from Melbourne, FL.

Last Wednesday, a local carver showed up @ the woodturning studio and said he had a whole pile of the stuff & would bring it all in later that week. The guy never showed!

I think Doug felt confident that the carver would show up sooner or later and I ended up with the only log!
