When you purchase Mini Dimension Glasses you will receive a recent piece, not necessarily one from these pictures.
Now to figure out what to do with the green stuff in the background. Ideas include: distillation, potpourri, and eating it. I may simply tape it all back together into a new tree.
I still couldn't get the trunk. It's just too big for me to saw through, or to lift. I'd estimate the weight at being pretty easily in the 1000lbs range (450kg). Camille said she'd give me a call if she ran into the tree cutters when they came by, to see if they'd let me have it, and help me lift it into my truck after cutting it into sections.

These cool markings will never last. This is the fragile cambium - the layer between the internal wood and bark whence grows new wood. It's not structurally sound enough to become part of any finished piece, and the lighter regions at the bottom in this shot can be wiped away with finger pressure.
I spent about 2 hours cleaning up the last bits this day - Memorial Day - and this is what I now have. All the green in the background is either cutoffs from these limbs, or limbs that were too small to bother with.

I love what I'm seeing in here. I don't have a lathe big enough to turn this yet, sadly, but I can always saw it into quarters and turn those on my mini lathe. Another option I'm considering is quarter-sawing one of these into smaller planks.
I think I've got enough of this stuff now that it's worth it to me to see how quarter-sawn planks will look with such interesting things going on inside. I know they'll be small planks - in the 2" range, but they can also be jointed and edge-glued to create wider panels that might look pretty neat. It'll be pretty funny to stack and sticker such little pieces :)
Here's the scrap. European olive wood smells to me like spicy pears, like warm pears with cinammon when I cut it. Unfortunately, I'm bothered by the dust. I've cut all manner of woods over the years, with nothing worse than a sneeze or runny nose. This has caused my lungs to tighten up to where I'm wheezing, and had my nose running continuously for extended periods. The couple of times it's really affected me badly, I had to lay down for awhile, and then was out of sorts for the rest of the night, with my lungs returning to quasi-normal in about an hour or two. I've been working to control the dust a lot better of late.
I can't wait to see what these will become, but they'll need a long time drying out first, after they're sealed with Anchorseal to prevent too-swift a drying, which would lead to splits and checks.

Alas, the expo is long over... I posted these photos elsewhere originally, and was asked to post 'em here.
I was supposed to write an essay based on the idea of Francis Alys' Guards (2004), but somehow didn't write an essay at all and got very carried away. It went from a critical look at the place of walking in modern art to attempting to dissolve all logical meaning entirely. Initially a snide piss-take, I wrote a ludicrous non-story about the City of London and its inhabitants. After that the form of the essay went out of the window too. A fuller explanation and the complete PDFs can be found goo.gl/WdhlCg.
The "Cut up" of writing was pioneered by Dadaists and later used by Beat Generation poets. I didn't manipulate individual lines or letters but instead used chunks of text and sewed them back together to turn the written text into something more visual and dissolve meaning even further.
We ventured to a different park today after school so I thought I'd do another page for our park album.

The Anchorseal turns red over the sapwood, and a warm brown over the heartwood. I've sealed some rounds of small logs of this awhile back, and they turned red like this, but then over weeks, as they dried out, they turned that leather-brown. Both colors are beautiful, though I'd love if I could get that red color permanently, and naturally, say with a clear lacquer or shellac.
There are very red woods, like bloodwood (a lot brighter and more orange than this), and much of the colors in cocobolo, but these often fade in time. I'm not sure about bloodwood, but cocobolo will turn a deep brown after a year or two, though UV blocking sealers can lengthen that time. Same for purpleheart, which is vibrantly purple, but fades to brown after awhile.
