Its structural features are highly contrasting brown lines and yellow streaks of sapwood, and even more importantly, the surface of olive wood can be easily polished to a high degree. While it can be a bit uncooperating during cutting, olive wood can easily be glued. During cutting, has a distinct, pleasant and sweet odor, and this odor usually remains present in the finished product for several years. Olive trees can live for hundreds of years, and while they take a long time to grow, the wood is a by-product of the agricultural industry since the trees eventually stop producing fruit. This makes olive wood a sustainable material.
