Italian Olive, commonly known as Mediterranean Olive, is a dense and oily wood celebrated for golden brown coloration and bold brown to black streaking. Individual pieces may also show tiger striping or burl, giving the lumber additional natural figure. Because olive trees are typically pruned for fruit production and harvested for lumber only when old or damaged, long lengths can be difficult to find. Olivewood glues well, takes a smooth polish, and is well suited to sculpture, carving, decorative turnings, inlay, and high-end custom furniture. This slab measures 1-1/4" x 22" x 47" 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.
