Italian Olive, sometimes called Mediterranean Olive, offers an eye-catching combination of golden brown color and contrasting brown to black streaks. This dense, oily wood can display tiger striping or burl, making individual pieces especially distinctive. Because the trees are pruned for olive production and generally harvested for lumber only when they become too old to produce fruit or are damaged, long pieces are uncommon. The wood glues well and polishes to a beautiful, smooth finish, making it suited for sculpture, carving, decorative turnings, inlay, and high-end custom furniture. This slab measures 1-1/4" x 21" x 39" 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.
