Free Standing Olive Cross

This was another piece made from the freshly trimmed olive tree in the park. It had a large crack down one side which I filled with black epoxy before starting any cuts on it. I was able to maintain some of the natural edge on the front.
It is 9" high and finished with Danish Oil and then 3 stage buffed and waxed.

Thank you all for the nice comments.
I had to cut off the back to remove a lot of cracked grain.
