I bought these from a guy in France and I feel bound to say they have great character, deep colour and special grain. Rambling through my blanks there may be more however I did find a number of Holy Land Bethlehem Olive lighter in colour, then some I cut myself from an abandoned Olive Grove 300 miles from where I live that is lighter and different characteristics. The plot thickens. This grove was wrecked many years ago by polling down the height and in many drought seasons developed splits water shoots strange growth. The grain is hard to cut too from scarce to patchy. At the time I was there I looked through the stacked poll cut stuff abandoned it was rubbish.

Kind regards Peter.

As usual Peter, not only a super looking pen, but the wood to go with it ... :thumbs:
