Russian Olive – Premium Turning Blank with Dramatic Natural Figure 

Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) is a unique and visually striking hardwood known for its bold swirling grain, high contrast figuring, and warm golden-brown tones. Often overlooked in traditional lumber markets, Russian Olive has become a favorite among woodturners for its unpredictable beauty and eye-catching patterns.

This premium Russian Olive turning blank features dense, twisted grain that produces dramatic movement and natural contrast when turned. With sharp tools, it cuts cleanly and holds crisp detail, sanding smoothly to a refined finish that highlights its organic figure. The wood’s natural variation ensures that no two pieces are ever alike.

Russian Olive is ideal for pens, bottle stoppers, bowls, knife handles, small boxes, finials, and artistic turning projects where bold grain is the focal point. Its moderate density offers a satisfying turning experience and excellent stability once properly dried.

Bring bold character and natural artistry to your next project with these hand-selected Russian Olive wood blanks, chosen for dramatic figure, color variation, and premium turning performance.
