Live Edge Olive Wood

Olive Wood, native to the Mediterranean region, is a dense hardwood known for its golden-yellow tones streaked with rich brown or black veins, creating striking patterns. Its fine texture and straight to slightly interlocked grain make it a favorite for decorative purposes. Though moderately difficult to work due to its density and tendency to tear out, it turns, sands, and polishes beautifully, resulting in a smooth, glossy finish. Olive Wood is commonly used for pens, knife handles, turned bowls, cutting boards, furniture accents, and decorative inlays. Renowned for its durability, natural luster, and distinctive appearance, it is highly valued in artistic and functional woodworking projects.
