OLIVEWOOD Olivewood is one of the
choice woods used for makers of religious items.
The wood is indigenous to
the Mediterranean region. Olivewood's grain consists of dark
brown streaking with its yellowish-tan heartwood. The wood is hard
and dense with an average specific gravity of about 0.80,
but still works and finishes very well when sharp tools are used. As
with many exotic woods, it is recommended that the wood
be seasoned before working it.
Exotic Woods
USA's Olivewood comes from North Africa and is a
sub-species
of the European variety.
