In a couple days, I’ll be the proud new owner of a big-ass maple mantle and 22 square feet of olive, which I’ve never worked with before

I’m tossing around the idea of using the olive for a table top, but that’s far from certain, as I haven’t seen any of it in person yet.

What experience do y’all have with olive and what do you recommend?

    I’m glad you agree. I’m just curious what it will be like working with a wood that’s got a ~2700 janka hardness.

    IF this project ever actually comes to fruition, I’m considering just burnishing as a finish, but that’s waaaaaayyyyyy far off
