Information: Olive
was planted California in the late 1800′s. These trees were
cultivated into short and shrubby trees to allow for machine harvesting of Olives. The burl from an olive tree is a growth in which
the grain is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and
makes small birdseye knots. As a result, California olive burl
produces wild swirly figure with some birdseye.
The Curly
Walnut
used in my knives came from an old Claro Walnut tree orchard that was cut
down and replanted with almond trees near Chico California. The Curly
Walnut
has
some
figure
and provides a
nice contrast to the Olive Burl. |
