    Olive Wood Bowl

    Here is a communion bowl that I finished with Waterlox gloss. It is 8 1/2" across and 2" deep. I made this for the son of my friend I work with. He was ordained a priest 1 yr. ago in May so this will be a gift to him.

    Just cut off the parts that don't look like a bowl...

    Thanks again. Olive wood is a really nice turning wood. Also smells good when turning.
