Olive Goblet

I have all these olive branches that were trimmed off a tree in the park last week. The are cracked a lot  but I wanted to see if I could turn something from them that would stay together so I cut out this goblet. I filled it with epoxy many times in the process but it kept cracking as it was drying so I gave up and considered the cracks to be "character" in the wood.
It is 2 5/8" diameter 5 1/2" tall  and finished with EEE and Shellawax.

I think branches would have a lot of stress a d would be bad for turning? No?
