California Olivewood Cookies

Olivewood is an exotic wood that is native to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and there is a US-based version that grows exclusively on the West coast. It has a sentimental and religious significance to several cultures and religions. The wood is hard and strong and has fantastic working characteristics, making it a favorite for wood turning and carving.

What makes California Olivewood so unique is the extraordinary grain pattern of each individual piece, as well as the distinctive and inviting fragrance that it gives off. It even becomes darker, richer, and more beautiful in color as it ages! It has long been a favorite for religious, historical, and artistic artifacts. It finishes very smoothly, to a high polish.

Olivewood comes in cookies, burls and slab form.  The trees, being extremely slow growing, and not very tall, are not typically cut in to dimensional lumber form.

We sell Olivewood for $40.00/BF.  The price per cookie will, of course, depend on the cookie.
