This is a true one-of-a-kind piece. The olive wood platter in these photos is the exact platter that ships to you — hand carved from a single solid piece of Mediterranean olive wood, following the wood's own free-form, and shaped into our platter design. Every so often a piece comes through with grain this unique and dramatic — deep, swirling figure and dark streaks running right across the face — we set these extraordinary pieces aside for our individualized, one-of-a-kind offerings. This is one of those.
What you're getting: this exact platter, about 13.5 x 8.5 inches (roughly 34 x 22 cm), weighing 465 grams. One solid piece of olive wood — sanded smooth and conditioned with our all natural food safe wood conditioner made in-house. The organic shape and wild grain are the whole point; the figure is what makes this piece a standout and unlike any other.
Ways to use it: a serving and charcuterie board for cheese, cured meats, bread, and olives; a fruit or bread platter for the counter; or simply a sculptural piece set out on display. It earns its place on the table and on the shelf.
Why olive wood: it's one of the hardest, densest woods there is, with a tight closed grain that resists water, odors, and staining far better than open-grained woods. It won't impart flavor to your food, and with a little care an olive wood piece can last for generations. The wild, swirling grain and warm color mean no two pieces look alike — and this one is truly the only one of its kind.
Real Photos, Every Time
Every photo in our shop is our own — shot by us, of the real piece, in real light. No stock images, no AI.
Doing Good — No Greenwashing
The designs are ours — our own shapes, or existing forms we've refined together with the artisans we work with directly — then made to our spec, inspected, and hand-finished by us before they ship straight to you. No middlemen, no distributors, no drop-shipping. We believe in true sustainability, quality over quantity, and treading lightly: olive wood is a renewable resource, harvested from trees that have already given their fruit.
Care: rinse gently in warm water, dry right away, and never soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Every so often, wipe it with a food-grade wood conditioner to keep the grain rich and protected. Treated this way, it lasts lifetimes.
One of a Kind: this is a single, one-off piece — when it's gone, it's gone. The platter in the photos is exactly what you'll receive, down to the grain. With a piece this figured, the wood is the whole story; the dark mineral streaks and the flow of the grain are never a flaw, always a fingerprint.
A piece like this makes an heirloom gift for any occasion, or for anyone who appreciates truly unique, quality items.
