At the risk of boring everyone, I turned another bowl this afternoon.
A bit of shaking and dead knots going on with this one!

There is so much going on with the grain in this bowl, I think I prefer the first one.
Regards,
Neil.

To be fair I don't think you are doing that wood justice, in fact the wood police are on the way to take any spares away.....

Lovely wood and a good shape to show it off IMHO. Great conversational piece.

Neil firmly believe Olive wood is one special timber in any form your bowl is special, my experiences are the grain can be full on or scattered aces, it cracks, depending on the pruning and age gets contrary growth so success varies a lot. Still a real favourite in many instances buying blanks such as from the Holyland you can waste a lot of money. Bowl making can leave a heap of timber on the floor.
