Being a Olive wood "lover", the pieces of wood you used to make boxes and pens, are just extraordinary and the type of grain every wants however, I only wish that you could also show to the guys and gals, the amount of Olive wood you had to to through and the amount of waste you endup with, just to make 2 pen boxes and 2 pens. I know what it takes as I cut Olive wood regularly and I enjoy every bit of it but, what you have there is the result of careful and very selective areas of the logs that had the Olive wood grade you were after. Only someone with good access to this wood, could do such a thing, you just can't order, boards, slabs or size blanks with only this sort of wood, well...! you could but, it would cost you a small fortune.

I really like what you done with this wood, and certainly a great utilisation of what you have available around you but, I believe important to make people aware that, you invested a fair amount of Olive wood to create these pieces...!

I'm very lucky to admit that, I could very easily be that selective and process a fair amount of that highest grade Olive wood, play with it and share some of it but, it would be costly...!

Apart from all that, I do appreciate the craftsmanship you put in to those, congrats...!:wink::biggrin:

Cheers
