Beautiful Olive Wood Pens
Fountain and Rollerball Pens
Olive wood is a beautiful type of wood and is used in many luxury goods. Olives are a huge economic importance in the Mediterranean and the trees are never usually harvested for their wood. So, most olive wood is limited to tree clippings, branches, and trees destroyed by storms or disease. The trees themselves grow from 25 to 50 feet tall. The diameter of these trees can reach anywhere from 3-5 feet and the colour is a creamy yellow/brown with dark brown or black contrasting grain. It is this that really makes olive wood stand out so much as the grain can be curly or wavy in shape and also may be straight, interlocked, or wild.
Olive trees have been around for a very long time. The earliest record of olive tree groves were recorded to be around 4000 B.C. Many people draw olive trees in backgrounds of religious paintings because they are prevalent in the holy land of Jerusalem. Olive trees are actually quite significant in most religions, however for everybody olive trees are a symbol of peace and beauty.
