#1344 Olive

Size 5.7 x 4.5 inches

Highly prized for its exceptional grain, Olive wood has become a favorite of wood turners. It turns and polishes beautifully, however its primary flaw is that it warps and cracks as it dries. In this piece retaining the bark edge adds another texture and color to the turning. This Olive turning is finished with a food safe wood penetrating varnish. There are several hand-rubbed coats of finish on this piece which provide protection and enhance the colors of the Olive wood.
