Hey Guys, as you scroll down and see the natural edge cakes/slabs below...think of doing something like the beautiful red turning below crafted by wood worker Carl Kurz.....Instagram.. @138_wood_creations. I love the red resin but other colors would work too to compliment colors of the olivewood.
sold....................OL1 $35.00 + $16.00 to ship = $51.00 total. Olivewood slab for turning or casting. Measurements in the first pic. Due to some saw tracks on the other side it measures down to 1 1/2". Note some borer holes. : ) Pretty sure the borer has moved on to fresh olive somewhere else but there could still be some. One dry pic and some misted show one side pretty well. Some of these are planed on the other side. I didn't want to remove any more wood. The grove that these came from was cleared about a year ago.
pendingonbm216..........................OL2 $35.00 + $16.00 to ship = $51.00 total. Olivewood slabs for turning or casting. Measurements in the first pic. Note one is thicker. Both will squeeze into a medium flat rate box. Note some borer holes. : ) Pretty sure the borer has moved on to fresh olive somewhere else but there could still be some. Some of those holes are screw holes where I attached this chunk to a base on my mill. They'll be on the thicker slab on the right. One dry pic and some misted show them pretty well. Some of these are not planed on the other side. I didn't want to remove any more wood. The grove that these came from was cleared about a year ago.
pendingonbm54..........OL7 $30.00 + $16.00 to ship = $46.00 total. Olivewood slabs for casting. Rough measurements in the first pic....really hard to measure those odd shapes. Note some borer holes. : ) Pretty sure the borer has moved on to fresh olive somewhere else but there could still be some. One dry pic and some misted show them pretty well. Planed on both sides. The grove that these came from was cleared more than a year ago.

pending on pts................K3, $19.00 + $6.00 to ship = $25.00 total. Hi Guys, here's a few koa pen blanks for sale. I found them under a pile of "do it later" stuff. ; ) Dimensions in the misted pics. They're not the "knock the eyes right out of your head" fiddleback blanks that we love in koa but there is a little figure and some nice color and chatoyancy....plus a pretty reasonable price.

pendingonfb311...............IC-2 $25.00, pick up in Redding, CA. Incense cedar cut from the forests of Northern California. Dry wood with one natural edge and one cut edge should make some amazing craft pieces. Pre-drilled holes on the "cut" side for wall hangings, natural edge on the bottom for a rustic accent. Ten pieces in all, dimensions are in the pics. First pics are dry then a little mist to show a potential finished look. Some stain would really make these stand out. A good size for pyrography or painting fun wall hangings.
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. .
That's about it for now guys......will be listing a few more in days ahead. You'll love turning these.
