    I think that's a great bowl Ted. I like the form and the spalting around the heartwood really sets it off.

    Wow, beautiful. How do you stop the bark from falling off? I imagine CA or something before working it. (Needless to say i'm not a turner )

    Thanks for the comments .
    Tony
    I don't think that's spalting in the heartwood , thats just the way olive is .
    Bob
    I can't remember if I used CA to stabilize the bark . This was probably roughed out about 5 years ago . As you can see , I lost the bark in a few places .
