My husband & I went to Athens this summer. We were looking for an olive wood bowl for my mom and were excited to find a little store called Olive Wood in the Plaka. The stores owner was very nice and she had some great bowls of various sizes that weren’t the symmetrical bowls we saw at several other stores. She said she has been there for around 13 years. We ended up buying a bowl for ourselves too because they were so unique. Before we left we got her picture and promised to email her, but we are still looking for her email address.

dears sirs,i read with interest your report of the trip in greece with - olive wood - . different price in different place makes everybody wonder why .! olive wood is a particular wood difficult to find in the proper conditions and even more difficult if you want to work with the roots of olive tree. olive tree old as 1000 — 2000 and more years are not easy to find , not easy to dry for 5 to 10 years naturally !!! all this processs take time and care and cost money if you do it properly !!! but the result are : - long lasting products — natural olive wood treated only ! with olive oil !!! — products will not break or change for many many years, for professional cook alike they are ready for a heavy dayly usage !!! the time you spend to craft the items in olive wood and the skill of the craftman give others beautifull results . to come to a conclusion i think it is not the price we have to look after when it come to olive wood products but quality , craftmanship , details , and in this respect —design + craftman skill — MADE IN ITALY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. VISIT MY SHOP FOR A GLANCE OF IT !!!! YOU WELCOME … PEACE MORENO
