Oleo Europa;
Most of our Olive wood is grown right here in Sunny California, but is the same species of olive that is known as Italian, Mediterranean, or Olive from the Holy Land. Olive wood is easy to work and turns, glues, polishes and finishes well. It has been said that olive wood gets even more beautiful with age as it deepens in depth of color. It is highly prized for its exceptional grain pattern, and its warm nutty brown heartwood that is heavily contrasted with the creamy sapwood, and interlaced with multiple veins of other darker brown or black streaks.
