DK Krafts Olive Wood

DK Krafts Olive Wood DK Krafts, based in Olathe, KS, is in the business of selling custom olive wood art pieces. Contact us for questions, information, and pricing.

The highlight of our collection is imported, hand carved olive wood from Jerusalem. Disclaimers:
- In most cases we have abstract or intricately carved pieces for each design.
- Each elegantly carved piece will have its own color and wood grain. No two pieces are alike, which makes our collection unique.
- Not all pieces may be available at the time of order. Please ask about availability and s

izes.
- All sales are final. The olive tree is native to the holy land where it has been cultivated since ancient times. According to historians, around 4,000 BC, the first olive groves took roots in the holy land and along the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean. The olive tree is a slow growing tree which fully matures in the first 7 years of its life. It is especially productive throughout its life. Growing to heights ranging from 10 to 40 feet, and reaching the age of 200 years old, the trunk disappears. Shoots will develop at the base of the trunk which eventually grows into a new tree, hence, the reputation of the immortal tree. Between April and June, a multitude small, white perfume flowers appear in groups under the proceeding years' leaves. They only last a few weeks. One olive is born for about 20 flowers. Normally, the first flowering after about 8 years. Bethlehem, holy land, olive wood is a local raw material from which mainly religious historical and artistic articles are made, using the prunes of young olive trees, and the sprouts from the trunks of the old, unproductive trees. In this process no tree is ever damaged or destroyed. The wood is heavy, dense, and durable with a distinctive red pigment in its grain. All carvings made of this hard wood have a varying and smooth grain making each piece extraordinarily unique. It is very difficult to match the grain of two pieces since the pattern is completely hidden in the heart of the wood. As it ages, it will become darker and richer in color, thus making it even more beautiful. You can estimate the age of a particular piece by examining its grain. Very old trees have a very dark grain while younger trees exhibit a lighter color. Bethlehem, holy land, olive wood is one of the hardest, heaviest, and most solid woods known to man. It is also very long lasting and resistant, being the natural choice of wood for sculptures that last thousands of years.
