Bethlehem Olivewood is a raw material from which mainly religious, historical and artistic articles are made. Using the prunings of the young olive trees and the sprouts from the trunks of the old unproductive trees, is an essential process for the healthier growth of the trees and generates environmental stability. No tree was damaged or destroyed in the process of harvesting the wood.
Olive trees grow in many parts of the Holy Land, but, the richness and textures of the Bethlehem Olive wood is unequalled. One of the reasons for that is due to the fact that the oldest Olive trees in the Holy Land are located in the City of Bethlehem. The older the Olive tree is the more grain and texture you will find in the wood.
Bethlehem Olive wood is one of the hardest, heaviest and most solid wood known to man. It's a natural choice for the woodworking artists.
