Our Olive wood
From the wise old Olive trees of Layia
We collect our olivewood during the olives picking season. During this cleaning and pruning process the tree gets pruned down in order to fruit for the following year.
The older olive wood we use comes from the cut down pieces, some of them being quite big In some case’s we are fortunate to get our hands on some really wide pieces of wood.
Over a few years we try to carefully season our wood, allowing it to dry naturally for at least 1 or two years. As every piece of wood is carefully selected for the grain and size in order to meet a stunning standard.
The process continues by working on every item individually allowing it to further dry during the crafting period.
This process ensures that the finished item will retain all of its high qualities for long term use, so that you will enjoy our craft items for many years to come.
To retain the finish we only use 2 types of mineral oils also our very own homemade beeswax enhancer to pull the grain, we also use a wood preserver as in some cases a piece could be around 400 years old.
