Olive wood wholesale FAQs.

Olive wood is a dense, close-grained hardwood, which is why it has long been used for cutting boards, serving pieces and kitchen utensils. The tight grain resists knife scarring and moisture better than open-grain timbers, and no two trees give the same figure. Every ArtisRaw piece is finished with natural mineral oil and beeswax, which protects the wood and brings out the grain. If your market requires specific material testing or documentation, tell us at quotation stage and we will confirm what can be arranged.

Olive wood is very durable, but like all natural wood, it requires proper care. With regular oiling and by avoiding prolonged exposure to water or extreme temperatures, olive wood products will maintain their strength and beauty for many years.

Our olive wood comes from Tunisian olive trees, primarily the Chemlali variety. We only use wood from non-productive or pruned trees, ensuring that no trees are cut down solely for production. This makes our sourcing both sustainable and environmentally responsible.
