Wait no longer to turn your project. Blanks have been kiln-dried and can be turned immediately; no more worries about moisture.

African Olivewood (Olea europaea) has heartwood that is often pale to medium brown with irregular streaks that vary from brown to dark brown and dark grey. The sapwood is generally pale yellow. Wood has excellent strength properties. Material can be difficult to work due to interlocked grain and its oily surface. Olivewood needs care when drying to avoid checking or honeycombing, especially with thicker material. Pre-boring is recommended when nailing. Moderate blunting effect on cutting tools. Common uses include sculpture and carving work, veneer, decorative turnings, inlay and high-end custom furniture.

Notes:
  • Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start. The same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
  • Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
  • Cut from quality, kiln-dried stock. The grain runs with the longest dimension.
  • Carving and turning blocks are sawn to +/- 1/4" of the listed size.
