Bottle Openers and More Bottle Openers

From bottom left to top right: Olivewood, Bocote, Marblewood, Black & White Ebony

I didn't get as much time in the shop this weekend as I wanted, but I was still able to make a few more bottle openers.  In fact, I am now out of kits so it will be a while before I can make some more.  The theme was the same. Lets use some of the more exotic woods and come up with something striking.  This set included Bocote, Black & White Ebony, Olivewood and Marblewood.  There is little doubt in my mind that my favorite of this bunch in the Bocote. The unique lines and squiggles of the grain as simply phenomenal.

This was a smaller piece of of Olivewood to start with. It's finished length is only 5-3/4 inches long with just under 3-3/4 inches of Olivewood. It fits quite comfortably in my hand while the grooves give you a feeling of grip.  It was inspired by my ice cream scoop.

This piece is $30.  If interested, please use the contact information found in the about me or contact section of the blog.

Olivewood is an exotic wood that is native to Africa and has a sentimental and religious significance to several cultures and religions. The wood is hard and strong. What makes this hardwood so unique is the extraordinary grain pattern of each individual piece. It even becomes darker, richer, and more beautiful in color as it ages! It has long been a favorite for religious, historical, and artistic artifacts. It is very hard, fine textured and dense.
