Infinite supply of olive wood - now what?

[sunnybob]

If you go to things like Christmas markets, craft fairs, artisan food fairs / farmers markets, you will often find people selling selling thinks like cheese boards and small cutting boards made of Olive wood. A few goblets, small bowls and things like that. So there must be at least a small market. We have a few olive trees. Slow growing is not the word!

They might well be slow growing in Tunbridge wells :shock: :roll:
but in their native land they can easily grow 3 foot a year :lol: 8) . The famer behind our house drives us nuts because he trims huge quantities each year, but just leaves the branches where they fall, which makes it a rats paradise.
