The olive tree, native to the Holy Land, is mentioned in the Bible as a symbol of productivity, beauty, dignity and peace. 

• Olive wood is a hard and non-porous wood that is ideal for products such as chopping boards and kitchen items. It will not absorb flavours, odours or bacteria and it does not stain. 

• The olive tree’s wood has a diverse variety of natural colour and tone depth. Its artistically rich and vibrant grain render it one of the most beautiful in the world and few woods are able to offer such unique character. 

• Its strikingly rich and colourful appearance makes it perfect for use in a wide range of decorative objects. 

• All the olive wood figurines and arts that we sell are hand crafted by Christian artisans in Bethlehem. The wood they use are the prunings of the olive tree, which is an essential process for healthier growth of the trees and to generate environmental stability. So, no tree is damaged or destroyed in the process. 

Our olive wood carvings will easily last a lifetime and be enjoyed by generations to come.
