GPscroller Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Lumber yards I deal with here, say they cannot order olive wood. Yet I walked into Home Sense and bought olive wood cutting boards made in Italy for $12.00, gotta love the wood. Slabbed them in half and cut these out of them. The pieces measure 4 1/2 x 7 x 3/8ths, total height 10 1/2 inches. The first pattern I found on Pinterest, unknown designer, and the second pattern is by Fish.

DWSUDEKUM Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Very nicely done. I also have found it made into cutting boards at the Home store here in the states. Gotta love the grain in olive wood. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW GPscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodmaster1 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Those are fantastic! We have a fellow at the woodworking club that brings some home from Israel we he goes. He says only an arborist can cut olive trees in Israel. His friend saves him pieces and it is cheaper to pay the extra on luggage weight than buying some and ship it.
