Hey guys, I have 8 more blocks of rare curly Black Olive available. After this, they're all gone. These are natural, not stabilized.
Black Olive is heavy, VERY dense and VERY hard. Stable as is. This would be in the same class as african blackwood and ironwood as far as density and hardness. Very solid and defect free. These remind me of a mix of koa and claro walnut as far as grain, figure and color though they are MUCH harder and denser than either of those.
Nice big blocks with nice curl figure throughout on both sides and edges.
