As some of you know, the Holy Land has olivewood trees that date back to Jesus’ time. Local Christian artists purchase the olivewood tree trimmings from local farmers to carve these beautiful pieces. The olive tree is considered a holy tree in the Holy Land and people only trim the trees, for healthier growth. Since olivewood is considered an exotic wood from the rich grain, it’s in high demand in the Holy Land with its limited resources. Pricing is usually dictated by the quality of the carving and the size of the logs used. Since olive trees take a long time to grow, the younger trees will have smaller limbs and little to no grain. As they age, they start to produce the grain, so the more grain you see in a piece, that is an indication of an older tree.
