Sawn timber and solid wood

Olive wood for craftwork, furniture and flooring.

Wavy grain, honey to brown tones, and hard, dense wood. At Vela, you can find unedged boards and boules, seasoned and ready to work.

What you can make

Choose the piece to suit the job.

Olive grain stands out even in small objects. On larger tops, the grain and natural edges become part of the composition.

Chopping boards and small objects

The fine, dense grain suits chopping boards, bowls, handles and small turned objects. For chopping boards, choose sound pieces and a finish suitable for food contact.

Resin tables

Irregular edges and voids become part of the tabletop. Before choosing boards, assess the sound areas, usable dimensions and spaces to fill.

Furniture and wooden tops

With pieces of suitable quality and size, olive wood can also be used for tabletops, cabinet fronts and furniture details. Matching the boards helps the grain flow across the surface.

Indoor flooring

The shades and irregular grain make each strip different. This use requires suitable timber preparation and careful choices of sizes, finish and installation.

A closer look at the timber

Boards and boules, selected piece by piece.

Unedged boards retain their natural edges. Boules keep boards from the same log in sequence, helping you plan how to match them.
