Olive wood is the perfect wood for making beautiful wooden objects. The wood is extremely hard and dense, making it naturally more stain and odor resistant than most other woods. Additionally, olive wood has unique and beautiful color variations, showing dramatic shades of dark and light patterns, making it exceptionally beautiful.
