I forgot ARFCOM had a WW'ing section but you guys might be my last hope?
I need a source for Olivewood. I don't need a lot, just enough 4/4 material to make a 12"x12" top but I need it fast for a Christmas present and I've had no luck locally (Cincy OH area) or online. Do any of you know of a good only source that may have what I need in stock and ships fast? Thanks |

You could try contacting Keim Lumber in Charm Ohio. They have a LOT of exotic woods. Even if what you want isn't on the web store I suggest calling them.

Too late now, but Etsy is also a pretty good source for small pieces of exotic/tropicals too.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By midmo: Too late now, but Etsy is also a pretty good source for small pieces of exotic/tropicals too. Yeah I checked there and that was the problem... all anybody seemed to have is small pieces for turning pens or knife scales. I originally wanted some 4/4 and 6/4 material, enough to make a small footstool. Then I figured If I could at least get enough 4/4 material to make the top that would be good enough but no such luck. It's my own fault for waiting until almost the last minute. |

It's my own fault for waiting until almost the last minute. Story of my life. The best way to get 4/4 olive wood is really a glue up. If you buy 50% more than you need you can match the grain up in a way where it isn't as noticeable. |

Clark's in Houston lists it but you'll have to call them to see what they have in stock, price, and whether or not they'll ship.
Give them a call and see what they say https://www.clarkshardwood.com/contact-us/ |
