Italian Olivewood is a scruffy and scrappy tree so most of our charcuterie boards will have some level of defect; knot, crack, or wane. Our customers choose this Standard Grade of Olivewood knowing that they may have to address or incorporate some of these natural characteristics.
Don't forget - this item is one of a kind and slight variations are to be expected and admired. Yours may not have the same grain pattern as those pictured - but will still be carefully selected by our staff to ensure you are getting a beautiful live edge piece!
If you absolutely need a almost defect free and almost perfect board - consider purchasing our very limited Premium Grade Olivewood while we have it in stock or you may have to wait until our next batch from Italy arrives!
These boards have been kiln dried and surfaced to show the grain and colour. We will carefully handpick either a 4" - 7" or an 8" - 14" wide board in the length of your choice. Thickness is between 3/4" - 15/16". Boards will often have only partial bark or no bark at all.
Enjoy quantity discounts when purchasing more than one board.

The boards were warped. So I had to try and get them as flat as I could. So not very convenient to try and flatten them yourself!
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you weren't happy with the boards. We try to do sorting and make sure they are top grade (for Olivewood - a twisty and knotty tree). Please send us a pic or two and we are happy to discuss a solution. shipping@kjpselecthardwoods.com
Beautiful piece of wood and fair price.
8 out of 10 boards were warped/twisted. The amount of work that is needed to get them straight is just not worth it. The defects are easy to fix so that part was expected. I will probably try the premium grade at some point but Im still hesitant about that.
