Olive Wood and Gun Metal Fountain Pen
OLIVE WOOD
The olive tree is an evergreen tree or shrub, it is short and squat and rarely exceeds 8-15m (26-49ft) in height. The silvery leaves are oblong, measuring 4-10cm long and 1-3cm wide. The trunk is typically gnarled and twisted.
Olive wood is very hard and is prized for its durability, colour and interesting grain patterns. Because of the commercial importance of the fruit and the slow growth and relatively small size of the tree, olive wood and its products are relatively expensive. Common uses of the wood include kitchen utensils, carved wooden bowls, cutting boards, fine furniture and decorative items.
The yellow or light greenish brown wood is often finely veined with a darker tint; being very hard and close-grained it is valued by woodworkers.
Pen #962 was turned on 19th April 2018 at Tixall Wide on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.
