something very mystical about watching it reveal
its final appearance. Sometimes the grain

swirl of grain giving the piece an elegant
beauty. On other occasions a more complex grain
with an almost marbled effect that manifests
itself in a varying and smooth grain, making
every piece extraordinarily unique.

His branches
shall spread, and His beauty shall be as the
olive tree"...(Hosea 14:6).
"But I am like a

Psalm 52:8
T he

to 12 meters),
R eaching

purposes, olive oil was important.

were called Nozreem or Masseheen, which in
Aramic and Arabic means anointed with olive oil.
T he
olive tree was an intricate part of the life of
Jesus. Jesus
spoke of pruning that, there might be stronger
life. He cuts off every branch in me that bears
no fruit, while every branch that does bear
fruit he prunes [15:2 The Greek for prunes also
means cleans.] so that it will be even more
fruitful. --John 15:2. Jesus
would have worked its wood as a carpenter, eaten
of its fruit for health and sustenance
and experienced the scent of its anointing oil.
Look into the grain of its wood and see the
olive tree as Jesus did. In His Father's act of
creation He presented such beauty for us all to
enjoy.

not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, Mark
6:3 |
