Collection: Olive
Olive, Olea europaea, is an iconic wood of the Mediterranean region.
It is traditionally used to make kitchen utensils (salad bowls, cutlery, chopping boards), as it is food safe.
It is a decorative, pleasantly scented wood that is easy to work. Its strong figure is highly sought after.
It is a very slow-growing tree, gaining about 1 mm in diameter per year. A 30 cm wide slab therefore comes from a tree over 300 years old!
