Golden brown color accented by dramatic brown and black streaks makes Italian Olive, or Mediterranean Olive, instantly recognizable. Dense and oily, this distinctive wood may also exhibit attractive tiger striping or burl. Olive trees are normally pruned to keep the fruit close to the ground and are generally harvested only when they are no longer productive or have been damaged, so longer lumber is uncommon. Olivewood glues well and produces a smooth, polished finish, making it a beautiful option for sculpture, carving, decorative turnings, inlay, and high-end custom furniture. This slab measures 1-1/4" x 22" 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.
