Wonderwall Studios Olive Wood
At Wonderwall Studios we use Olive Wood Overstock, a rare and beautiful hardwood sourced only when an olive tree has stopped yielding fruit and permission has been granted to fell it — because olive trees are an important economic resource in their countries of origin, like Italy. Most of the wood we work with actually comes from pruned branches, as the trees are regularly trimmed to stimulate fruit growth until they are too old to produce.
Olive wood is a hard wood with a splendid grain. The core of the trunk has a creamy‑brown colour with dark or black streaks, and this colour deepens with age. The grain itself can be wavy, burl‑like or wild, and the wood has a fine, uniform texture with a natural lustre that gives it a distinctive, warm character.
This material isn’t just decorative — its history, colour variations and unique grain patterns make olive wood a treasured choice for surfaces where natural beauty and individuality are valued. Whether sourced from branches or rare full trunks, we transform these prized wood pieces into surfaces that celebrate both their origin and craftsmanship.
