Olive wood is all sold guys.....sorry.  

Hi Guys  here's the story on these olivewood pen casting blanks.   I've had some one inch olive "cookies" in a box for some years.  Discovered them while trying to do a little clean up.  The cookies were about 8-10 wide.  I've always loved olive....smells really good and crosscut grain is beautiful.   So...I made these and thought maybe some of you could use 'em.   There are six pieces in this lot.  Dimensions in first pic.  You can see they are crosscut and have heartwood, sapwood and some bark.  They are dry and some have thin cracks/checks...pretty visible in pics.   Dry and misted pics show three sides.   Yours for $18.00 + $6.00 to ship = $24.00 total.  OL1

pending sale....................IC-1  $50.00, pick up in Redding, CA. 
Cedar log slabs all cut from the same short block.  A good opportunity for the rustic furniture makers to try your hand on some small benches or other projects.  Very nice cedar.  They'll measure 1 7/8 to 1 1/2" thick, 9 1/2 to 13" wide, 23" long.  Lots of pics, dry and misted pics to show potential.   Notice the third and fourth pic.  When you stagger them a bit they'd make some really unique display shelves, note the natural edge with beetle tracks.  Very cool.  : )    Rip 'em all in two and since there's a natural edge on the other side those would make the same stairstep shelves too.  Lots of rustic wood.  $50.00 buys 'em all.  Pick up in Redding. 

For sale:  Rustic shelf wood or resin river projects. 
Black oak rough cut boards.  Natural edges might make some resin river tables.   Pics show them pretty well.  Some pics are misted.   Spalted sapwood is a little soft on some of them but I think hard enough to work with.  Eight pieces for $100.00.  

OL9,  $16.00 + $7.20 to ship = $23.20 total. These are all 2" thick or better. Olive limbs are crooked so sometimes the rounds are a little tapered. These look a whole lot like little boxes or pill/jewelry holders or t-light holders or......something else. (still thinking). ; ) They'll average 3 to 4" wide. One dry pic and some misted show them pretty well. 
These were cut a couple years ago so they're not green but olive dries slowly..maybe because it's an oily wood. Sure smells good in the shop though. : ) Four pieces for $16.00 + $7.20 to ship = $23.20 total. OL9.

OL33  $20.00 + $7.25 to ship = $27.25 total.  These are olive wood limb section "cookies" from olive groves in my part of Northern California.  Twelve pieces will measure about 1/2" thick x 3 to 5" in diameter.  Lots of misted pics.   They were cut two years ago.  The bark has started to come off and I've removed some that is loose.  There could possibly be a few creepy crawlies in them...some under the bark and maybe some boring critters. Olive does tend to crack/check as it dries....but it can be made into lots of beautiful things.  Google Image Search:  "What to make out of olive wood" and get some great ideas.

Display round.    Here's a sample of a mount for figurines/statues/anything you might  want to display.   Sanded to 100 grit and misted.  one edge rounded...because I wanted to.  ; )

Pic below is from my wood buddy friend Josef Millis who really has a knack with the little olive wood limb sections as shown below.  This particular section didn't have a lot of heartwood so he turned it off center and named it "Olive Waterfall"...very appropriate.   See the thin line near the top..it's also a lidded "box".    Look for the second pic below for a "before" of this piece.   Thanks Josef for sharing the pic.  

Here's the "before" pic.  Note the off center pith.   This piece was about 4"  tall x 3ish wide.  .  

SOLD.....OL6,  $25.00 + $13.60 to ship = $38.60 total.  Olive wood limb sections.  Four pieces measure approximately 5 x 5 x 4 and 5 x 3 x 5 and 5 x 4 1/2 x 5 and 5 x 4 x 5".  .  These are prunings from olive groves in my area.  Olive wood is well known for checks and an off center pith.  There will be holes, cracks, and other "surprises".   Olive ain't for the faint of heart.  ; )  Most of the bark has been removed.  One dry pic and lots of misted pics.  They'll all fit in a medium flat rate box.    

That's about it for now guys......will be listing a few more in days ahead.  You'll love turning these.
