Product Description
Olive Wood:
Each engagement ring box is hand crafted and engraved to your specifications.
Olive trees are quite distinctive, being fairly small with short, stout, twisting trunks and gnarly branches. They also enjoy incredible longevity, sometimes existing for more than 1,500 years! (These ancient trees develop huge trunks, often several feet wide.) Although Olive trees are primarily cultivated for . . . well, olives (and olive oil), the available supply of wood from the trees is fairly consistent.
Olivewood is hard and dense, with an average specific gravity of about 0.80. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the wood is not particularly difficult to work with — provided, of course, that sharp tools are used. Due to its interlocked grain, however, cutting the wood can sometimes be problematic (especially trying to cut across the grain). Olivewood has a tendency to check and/or warp, so it's recommended that the wood be thoroughly seasoned before turning or carving it. Olivewood polishes extremely well and has a naturally waxy feel to it.
