Olivewood Score!

[JohnU]

Over the years I have gotten lucky with getting some good buys at the local "Marshalls" store. They buy a lot of overstock and left overs from other retailers at a discount and resell. Unfortunately I dont get there more than a handfull of times per year. In the past Ive scored olivewood, rosewood and mango sold as trays, tables and cuttingboards. This time worked out ok. Although it isn't Bethlehem Olivewood, it is Olivewood with very nice character and 3/4" thick. Not too bad for $19.00.

I found a good piece of olive wood at TJ MAXX that way.

Nice piece of wood. What was it being sold as?

Nice score - one of my favorite woods.

Yes, nice score, I find that to be true in may places, folks sell wood for less money as the don't know what kind it is

This one was a cutting board. Others I've scored were smaller and thinner so I used them for bracelets.
