A neighbor brought back a 3-4 " dia. branch of olive wood , from the Holy land. Would anyone be willing to try to turn some small bowls ? She will pay for your efforts.
Wow Tim. 3 to 4" doesn't leave much to work with! What is she looking for? End grain, side grain, plain bowls, decorative bowls? I've never turned Olive wood but would certainly give it a go! Is the wood wet or dry? I prefer dry but I'd hope she also understands that when turning wet wood, there is the warping and/or cracking factors to consider.A neighbor brought back a 3-4 " dia. branch of olive wood , from the Holy land.
