A very attractive timber, olive wood has been used since ancient times for homeware objects such as spoons and bowls and small decorative items. Because the trees are so long lived and productive, timber is generally only available in small pieces from pruning.
It boasts a variety of colours ranging from light golden-brown to deep brown. It is easily worked, very stable and is long lasting.
Jarrah with its beautiful rich colours, remains a most desirable and sought after hardwood. The tree grows to 40 metres in the south west corner of Western Australia.
Burl refers to the timber produced from carbuncle like growths on the trunks of trees. The resulting timber is full of knots and swirls that make for an extremely attractive feature. Burls can be harvested without damaging the tree and their collection is strictly regulated.
