Olive Wood Spheres / Balls

Wooden balls, handmade from the holy olive tree, a beautiful tree that everything that comes from it can be used for something good!

This is from making balls, a little smaller than 5cm (approx 2in) in diameter.

Olive wood balls make great decor pieces that will draw attention and be the center of discussions! They can also be used in meditation and massage! There something really unique in olive wood spheres. Not only they are so beautiful, but it also feel like holding a piece of time. Holding one and looking at its grain patterns, relaxes you and empties your mind, without even trying. Some later day, I will post photographs of finished balls.

I am often asked how I cut the last piece in a way that you cannot tell where it was. Well, that is a mystery!

Do not hesitate to contact me at antasprakis@yahoo.gr if you are interested in olive wood spheres of any size! Just write something appropriate in the "subject box" of the e-mail, so it will not end up in the spam folder.

Pair of Purse / Compact Mirrors with Greek Olive Wood!

Two more of my mirrors!

The wood is olive wood. They have a similar grain pattern as they came from the same brunch, so I decided to list them together!

They would make a great gift for every occasion where you like to make a present to two best friends, two sisters, a mother and a daughter, etc.




They come with a velvet pouch!

Check them in my shop:

Small bowl, handmade from olive wood, with burk inclusion

This small bowl was hand crafted from Greek olive wood. The brunch I used was cut during seasonal pruning, so the tree was not harmed just to make something out of it!

Finished with oil and wax, it feels all natural to the touch!

Compact mirrors with Greek Olive Wood

I used Greek Olive Wood in the hand crafting of these beautiful mirrors.

Finished with oil and wax, it is very soft to the touch.

It features two regular mirrors in a metal, shiny silver tone case. It measures 60mm (2.36inches).

Are they not the perfect gift?
