Woody we have in Tasmania a wild olive that can be as in all loosely named timber exciting and or normal. Olive to me is a love hate relationship with grain that defies description sometimes turning in and out as you peel it down. There is beauty in Olive this your pen especially around that small knot. I still have a lot of Olive to cut from years ago and a lot of Olive from the* Holy Land* c/w worthless paper certificates some so crazy with grain and some without. The abiding observation for me is timber is special in all its forms. Some of my Olive is almost white others darker than. Like your pics these days.

[QUOTE="Penpal, post: 42081, member: 122"] Woody we have in Tasmania a wild olive that can be as in all loosely named timber exciting and or normal. Olive to me is a love hate relationship with grain that defies description sometimes turning in and out as you peel it down. There is beauty in Olive this your pen especially around that small knot.
