Does anyone know of good (cheaper!) suppliers for Olive Wood?
Would like to try turning some and the price of blanks I have found is quite high...
 
I last bought Olive from Woodwise UK Exotic Timbers Ltd. in Dec. 2019. That was a 28mm thick natural edge plank 200 x 575 which worked out at ~ £190 / cu ft. A previous purchase (March 2019) of a 2"Sq x 6" from a 'regular' turning blanks supplier was ~ £650 / cu ft.

So to some extent it depends upon what sort of dimensions you want.
 
I have bought some off facebook market place a guy called Stephen Board he regularly sells olive wood boards in 1 and 2" thicknesses at quite reasonable prices and not to high postage costs
 
I used this company in Turkey quite a few years ago mainly for box. Don't know what they're like now but they were good then.
Octopus Wood Works Tonewood Ltd. Co.
