Alan, I meant to ask you if some of the splits have closed by now. I
find that NIP is one of the best timbers for self healing.

I sure would like to hear of some other's experience with NIP. I think
it is a special timber for turners. The branches make artists out of
journeymen. End grain turns easily. Preserves well. Translucent when
turned thin, nicely robust when not. Takes any or needs no finish. Comes
in all sizes and is relatively cheap and plentiful here.
