I was working in Tunisia ( North Africa ) last week and two things stood out......
The first was, like most African countries, is the use of very bright colours they use to decorate just about everything. The other thing that really amazed me was the incredible amount of Olive trees. The groves stretch for hundreds and hundreds of miles across the arid landscape. I took three flights and a 6 1/2 hr train journey while there. The groves just dissapear over the horizon. Anyway, I bought an olivewood board ( think it was for cheese ) and this is what I came up with. The scallops are edged with brass. I changed the direction from the middle. I'm pretty pleased how it turned out and SWMBO loves it:biggrin:
