@Tim Shettlesworth has some extraordinary olive! Maybe he can part with a bit of it. :-)
That will be 1.5 x 1.5 and 2x2. The real question is, how long are they?Thanks for the reply John...I read that as 1.5" squared and 2" squared...how thick?

Thanks Trev....I'm checking with Mel, my mentor.
Any blanks without pith, say 7 x 7 x 6 or bigger?
probably not, if i do they'd be pretty pricey
additionally i should not that olive is prone to checking and cracking including internal voids, no perfect blanks exist in my olive wood inventory

Right now I am in a time crunch but if you remind me later next week then I will get a couple listed for you to choose fromDoes anyone have or know where I can obtain some olivewood for my mentor to turn a small to medium bowl?
