Olivewood

Olivewood is one of the most beautiful and distinctive woods in the world — cream to light golden-brown with dramatic dark brown to black wavy grain lines that create a marbled, almost painterly effect across every board. The figure is entirely natural and no two pieces are alike. Prized for centuries in Mediterranean woodworking, it's dense, hard, and naturally fragrant. Takes an exceptional finish and is highly resistant to wear. A true conversation piece in any project.
