G,day
Here's another olive bowl. This one is part of the raffle prize at the Kiama Woodcraft Expo on the 9th and 10th of March , see"Anouncements"for more details.
The bowl is 230mmx70mm and the finish is DO.

Even for Olive that is an amazing grain pattern.

Is it slightly spalted?

Thanks for the comments.
The finish is danish oil, 3 coats I think .
The tree was growing in the front yard of the house next door and was cut down when the house was put up for sale .
I don't think there is any spalting . All the fantastic wild grain was in the stump, As you go higher up the tree ,the grain is less spectacular but I've got all that stashed away anyway . I also have a large olive rootball from another tree that I haven't cut into yet.
