Grevilia is not actually an 'Oak' at all. In fact it is a tree of the Protea family and grows naturally in Australia. Grevilias are commonly grown here in Cape Town and elsewhere in South Africa as street and garden trees.
The bowl is on display at Waterfront Woodturners at the Cape Town Waterfront's Red Shed Craft Workshop. (see the links at the top right of this page)

Nice one, Dennis. I take it you don't have any sensitivities built up to Silky Oak as of yet. Do be careful!
Hi Dennis, it's good to see another woodturner in the blogosphere. I mentioned your silky oak bowl on The Toolrest today and added you to my blogroll.
I look forward to reading more about woodturning in South Africa.
Hi Derek, thanks for the mention in The Toolrest. I'll also browse some of the other woodturning blogs on your blogroll
