Beautiful golden brown tones paired with brown and black streaks give Italian Olive, also known as Mediterranean Olive, its distinctive appearance. This dense, oily wood may also display tiger striping or burl for even greater visual interest. The trees are typically harvested for lumber when they are too old to produce olives or have been damaged by disease or nature, while regular pruning makes longer lengths less common. Olivewood glues well, polishes beautifully, and is frequently used for sculpture, carving, decorative turnings, inlay, and high-end custom furniture. This slab measures 1-1/4" x 18-1/2" x 48" and has been surfaced on both sides.

Notes:

• Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.

• Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
