Olive
Olea europa
.jpg)
|
Oleo Europa, grown throughout many areas of Central Europe, was planted by locals, soldiers, and anyone who has enjoyed eating olives or cooking with olive oil. Native European stock tends to produce larger boules with larger, thicker, and more stable lumber. Ideal for high end cabinets, end tables, and fancy turned articles. European Olive tends to have regular grain patterns (not fiddle back or burl) unlike the orchard trees in the United States. A rare and prized species in exotic lumber. Air dried 3-4 years and generally surfaced on one or more faces. Italy. This is the same species of olive that is sent from the "Holy land" it has just been grown elsewhere. |

Olive Originating in Europe, Olive (Oleo Europa) is available in thick slabs cut from large trunks in its native country of Europe. Root stock was successfully transplanted to California in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Orchard trees in California have been cultivated into shorter and more shrubby trees to ease mechanical harvesting of Olives, which does not allow for the production of larger trunks as in European Olive. As a result, the California variety produces incredible figure and crotch wood. The down side is that orchard trees generally have more reaction wood in them and consequently dry with substantial movement and checking if not properly cared for. We recommend the Italian lumber for furniture and the Californian for fine turned articles and small projects. This is the same olive that is sent from the "Holy land" It has just been grown and cultivated elsewere. We are always happy to assist you with any questions that you may have. 31A: 3" check in edge, Bark incursion at end, and a rough corner edge at the end. 4 lbs. 31B: 2-1/2" surface check. Lots of nice figure! Beautiful! 4 lbs.
