Olivewood (Olea europaea, O. capensis)

Pricing:

Hardness:

2700

Janka

Distribution:



Europe and eastern Africa

Availability:



Moderately Available

Appearance

Olivewood has a primarily creamy yellow or brown colour with incredible, high-contrast streaks of dark brown and black. Olivewood will occasionally have figure in the form of curl, burl, or wild grain that adds even more beauty to this wood.

Workability

Olivewood’s grain can vary between straight and calm to interlocked and wild grain. That being said, a hand plane may not be the best choice for this species so watch out for tearout. Olivewood is a joy to turn and takes glue and finish well.

Uses

Decorative objects, veneer, turned projects, and bespoke furniture.

Additional Comments

Typically, this wood is seen in the form of pruned or storm damaged branches as Olivewood is not grown for lumber. It can be unstable and prone to movement so using it sparingly is advised. While worked, Olivewood has a distinct fruity smell.

The intricate marbling and interplay of light and dark tones make each piece of olivewood lumber a work of art in its own right.

One of the notable benefits of olivewood lumber is its durability. Olivewood is a dense hardwood, which makes it resistant to warping, twisting and cracking. This inherent strength ensures that your woodworking projects will withstand the test of time, making olivewood an excellent choice for furniture, cabinetry, and decorative accents that demand both beauty and durability.

Furthermore, olivewood possesses natural oils that give it enhanced resistance to moisture, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications. This moisture resistance makes olivewood lumber ideal for items such as cutting boards, countertops and outdoor furniture, as it can withstand the rigors of daily use and exposure to the elements.

The Benefits of Olivewood Lumber for Your Projects

Incorporating olivewood lumber into your projects offers a range of benefits beyond its aesthetic appeal and durability. The distinct grain patterns and rich color variations of olivewood lend a touch of sophistication to any design. Whether you're crafting a unique tabletop, carving intricate sculptures or adding accents to your cabinetry, olivewood lumber elevates your work to a level of unmatched elegance.

Additionally, olivewood is known for its workability. It responds well to both hand and machine tools, allowing woodworkers to shape, carve and join olivewood lumber with ease. Its dense composition ensures clean and precise cuts, making it a joy to work with for both experienced craftsmen and woodworking enthusiasts alike.

Beyond its appearance and ease of use, olivewood lumber offers a captivating scent that adds another sensory dimension to your projects. The subtle fragrance of olivewood is reminiscent of the Mediterranean, evoking a sense of warmth and tranquility in any space.
