Wanted - Olive Wood

[McKenzie]

Does anyone know where I can obtain any Olive wood timber, I have several commissions for various jobs and I think that Olive would do the two of the jobs nicely. I once managed to scrounge a two foot log that was due to be burnt, but that was two years ago and all but gone now. I have a straight, good quality forty year old Oak plank 4ft long x 6inches wide and about 3/4 -1 inch thick for trade/ swap if anyone wants, otherwise name your price for the Olive.

Peace and Love

What kind of size are you looking for?

 

[McKenzie]

Well I could do with a few pieces that are thick enough to make a handle, say about 50 - 60mm square by 150mm , if it was bigger so much the better

it's worth searching for the term 'olive wood blanks' for knife handle blanks as they should be the approx size you're after. you can sometimes pick them up on etsy (plenty of pen blanks but only the odd knife blank): https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/192613594/anniversary-sale-sana-cutlery-olive-wood?ref=related-0
