Olivewood / Olive Wood

Olivewood (Olea europaea, O. capensis) comes from Eastern Africa and Europe and is most commonly used for charcuterie boards, high-end furniture, veneer, turned objects, nativity scenes, carvings and specialty wood items.

All of our olive wood comes from Italy. They prune the olive trees and cut the bigger branches into the live edge lumber. They aren’t allowed to cut live trees so it is typically hard to find it larger sizes. The rounds came out of an especially large tree so they are very unique. Not only are the shapes and figures unique, but the smell when cutting the wood has the distinct aroma of olive oil.
