Hi Guys, got a little olive wood for you to look at.  This wood came from an old orchard in Northern California.   Wish I could tell you the variety but it was/is the eating olive type.......not sure if there's other non-edible variety, I just know that if it can go on a pizza.....it gets my vote.   It's fresh cut, smells wonderful, end sealed after I took the pics.  Olive can and will check when drying (what won't)? but as with most wood......experimenting is half/more of the fun.  These trees were very old, some of the stumps were four feet across but that was down low.  There are some really close growth rings in some of these pieces.  

Olive wood is well known for its off center pith.  When it cures, usually a crack will appear longitudinally to the limb/trunk. 

Sometimes I post a few of these on Ebay too but the majority of the time, they are available.   Ask me by filling out the little contact form waaayyyy down at the bottom of this page. 

All the pics below are misted to show grain......
