    Default Olive Root burl Bowl

    Just a tiddler, 270*100. Punky, holy and fun to finish turn.

    Originally rough turned in 2017.

    Crocy, I didn't fill any cracks and Mineral Oil is the finish. Sanded only to #320, as I value my fingers

    Yes, those oils in olive wood seem to take forever to 'dry out' but, despite the problems that creates, it is a beautiful wood that is still worth the time and effort.
