Offering trade with @Big Ry of DIW. Couldn’t say species name or anything in Latin.
For consideration is a log / branch that I believe was standing dead for some time before being rescued from the elements. During this time, the sapwood mostly weathered away, leaving a rounded top. Of course, this is conjecture.
Diameters: Approaching 2” on the smaller side, and ~3” at the larger end. Note natural curve, and crack / void at small end. Best I can tell, it is about 2” deep. See last photo.
Length: 19.5” from stem to stern, but note angled cut at large end.

Looking to trade for interesting live-edged pieces from his voluminous collection. Prefer twisted, gnarled what-knots with inclusions and evidence of a hared life that could be memorialized with polyurethane. Or anything exotic, Australian, or olive can also work. I’m easy. ☺️ Thanks!

Let me know if you like any particular pieces and I can get better photos. I swore I had photos of the live edge pink ivory and plum, but I cannot find it for the life of me. Ill have to dig the slabs out for new photos.

1" thick Italian olive (clearly has some bug history, but this is definitely dry and bug free now):

Callery Pear from downed branches, some rot/spalt but pretty solid (still mostly green). Cracks covered by tape or glue. Debarked, bug heat treated, ends sealed:

Redbud. Came from a dead branch on the tree in my yard (cut ~1mo ago). Some rot, especially in the big piece. Big piece had bark and most rot power washed off. Cracks covered by tape or glue. Debarked, bug heat treated, ends sealed:

Flowering dogwood. From tree in my yard that died ~4 years ago. Though some of it is still green, so it wasn't totally dead. Some pieces have some rot or light spalting. First 4 pieces in Photo 1 are root stock. Semi-debarked, roots washed, bug heat treated, ends and cracks NOT sealed. Tried to face worst crack upward:

Almost looks like an antler!

Hi @Big Ry, Thanks for posting!
That olive board is incredible! And, I’d love to see any pink ivory or Euro plumb you could locate.
Of the other specimens featured, the largest of the redbud and dogwood examples show the greatest promise to my eye. Would it be possible to show a view of the end(s) of those pieces for a visual on depth of cracks?
Thanks again!
