I think you will find it is Holm oak quercus ilex evergreen Oak .
It is a lovely wood but prone to splitting

I'm with George on it being one of the evergreen oaks, the colour and medullary rays give it away but which I'd not like to guess.
Stunning shape although the oil finish looks a little heavy.

Thank you for your comments. The finish is a Hampshire sheen high glow finish. It is not an oil.
