Olive crotch ornament

 

This piece of Olive is from the crotch of a tree that was cut down about 20 years ago. The piece of wood was left lying on the ground for most of this time. The bark has all fallen off and the wood was attacked by woodworm (all now dead). I was given this piece by a friend and decided to see what I could do with it. It is cracked and has voids. It is 35cm by 22cm by 14cm finished with acrylic lacquer and is intended solely as an ornamental piece.
