Large Olive Wood Vessel with Bark

Additionally, a natural olive wood dish featuring bark is a favourite of mine because of its big presence and striking grain patterns.  Moreover, both the top and bottom of the bowl showcase highly visual grain patterns that add to its unique charm.

Turn the bowl over to reveal a flat surface that can used for multiple purposes. One alternative is to use the base as a stand for a plant pot.

Our natural olive oil dish from Southern Spain has been cured with oil

I have cured this bowl with olive oil from our region, This process of “curing” ensures it is food-safe, making it perfect for serving bread, salads, fruit, and savoury dishes.

Inserts accepted on our natural olive wood bowl

Inserting a glass or ceramic bowl extends its uses, making it ideal for serving salsas, hors d’oeuvres, olives, canapés, dips, finger foods, and more.

I had kept this slice of wood in my wood pile for quite some time, waiting for inspiration. Traditionally, I like to take my time when selecting the piece of wood for my next project to ensure it will be both attractive and practical.

To create a unique multi-functional I purposely left the bark intact, offering outstanding beauty.

Please note there are inclusions within the bark, which are all part of nature.

Evidence of chainsaw marks

Visual Chainsaw marks our natural olive wood dish to the top, and grain swirls within and underneath.  From the felling of the tree, at the end of its producing life, to be recycled and to give much pleasure for years to come.
