lidded olive bowl
G'day
Here's a little lidded bowl , or is it a box? that I made from a highly figured bit of olive . As you can see, there were many stress cracks that required filling . It is about 150mm diam. x 150mm high over all and the finish is DO. Comments welcome.

Thanks for the comments . The lid and finial are in two pieces and I would have liked them to be more similar to the bowl . Although they are from the same tree , they are of lighter and not such spectacular grain.

Ted, not a bad job, in fact I like it. I have made similar "bowls",to get a matching lid, I used a small parting tool at an angle of about 60 degrees and cut a piece out of the top of the blank. Similar to a bowl saving technique. My mother used this idea to make butterfly cup cakes. Hope that makes sense for you.

Hi there, nice job on the bowl. What do you use to fill the cracks? I generally use 2 part epoxy but always interested in alternatives.
Thanks,
Steve

I use builders bog with polyester pigment added . You can turn it after about 15 minutes.

Not sure what you call it in US .Builders bog is the general term for several brands sold here . I suggest you look on the shelves for something described as a polyester filler for filling cracks etc.
Maybe one of our other US members can come up with a name that is use there.

I have not used Builders Bog on my wood working projects but have used one brand known as Bondcrete on the house to repair large holes. The Bondcrete is a two part system where a hardener is added, similar to what you would do when mixing epoxy. Where Bondcrete has a much higher viscosity than epoxy.
I mention Bondcrete as an example but there are other brands of Bog and they all sit on the same shelf in the hardware store.
So if you were in Australia and went to a hardware store and asked the sales assistance where to locate builders bog they will take you to the Bog shelf.
