Exotic Olive Wood
Exotic Olive Wood, of the Mediterranean variety, is dense and durable, with a distinctive red pigment in its wood grain. Colors also range in nuances of cream to dark brown, with irregular gray, brown, and black lines, with no two olive wood grains being alike. The complex and irregular veins give the hand carved olive wood the appearance of fine marble. It is one of the most expensive woods around, and it is rare to find olive wood carvings, or even olive wood in the United States.
Tunisian wood carvings are expertly hand finished, with the surface of the hand carved wood being silky smooth to the touch. An occasional rubbing with natural olive oil, is all that is needed to maintain a beautiful finish. Because we are experienced in selecting only the best products, our collection of exotic olive wood products is unique, and of a very high quality. Most pieces are each hand carved from a single piece of high-grade olive wood, and not pieced together from scrap wood. This makes the exotic wood grains natural and much more beautiful, and the hand carved wood piece much more valuable to the collector.

Tunisian Imported Exotic Gifts
Tunisia in the Mediterranean Basin
We are starting with part of our Tunisian line of exotic imported products. Located on the coast of Northern Africa, along the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia is right in the middle of a thriving industry of trade and communication with a large number of other Mediterranean Basin, European countries. Home also to a number of sea port cities, luxurious beachfront vistas, Roman Ruins, picturesque mosques, the Atlas Mountains, the Chott Djerid (a great salt lake), and the Sahara Desert, Tunisia offers a variety of attractions to its visitors.
In Tunisia, you will find a culture of people that developed from a native Berber and Arab ancestry combined with other cultures and a wide variety of influences from around the world. Their history is an interesting quilt of vibrant cultural colors, from early Greek & Roman influence, to Arabic and then Turkish rule, to Egyptian, Spanish, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, African, Italian, English, American, and French influences, and then finally to an independent culture and country. This is apparent in the beautiful designs, patterns, and glazes of traditional Tunisian ceramics, cloth tapestries, woven carpets, and the intricate, exotic olive wood carvings that Tunisia is known for all over the world.
