Olivewood Pen Blanks

Olivewood, native to the Mediterranean region, is a dense and richly patterned hardwood prized for its golden-yellow base color streaked with bold brown to black veins. Its intricate grain and fine texture give it a luxurious appearance, making it a favorite for high-end decorative work, small turnings, and kitchenware. Though its density and interlocked grain can present challenges during machining, olivewood turns, sands, and polishes exceptionally well, yielding a smooth, glossy finish that highlights its dramatic natural beauty. Its durability and distinct aroma add to its appeal for artisanal woodworking projects.
