In the biblical sense, the olive wood is a statement of peace, longevity, fertility, beauty, and healing. The dove sent forth from the prayerful hands of Noah reputedly returned to the prow of the Ark with an olive stem and branch in its beak. Thus, the wisdom behind the words of perseverance when faced with adversity could be foretold. The mighty olive produces oil and other resources, refusing to give up until new roots are firmly embedded again. It is a sign of everlasting hope.
The pure strength of the word and its natural manifestation in ombre makes this wood one of the highest in demand for durable carvings, especially when coupled with a religious theme. Also environmentally sustainable, only the branches are required for use while the trunks can be restored and keep replenishing that which it sacrifices.
