3. Olive wood for making objects

If you want to make objects with olive wood you have to take into account several things.

First, olive wood is hard and somewhat difficult to work with.

Second, to be able to use the wood in the manufacture of wooden objects. Olive wood must be treated, otherwise it will crack, because when it dries naturally, the different rings of the wood shrink and crack. Therefore, there are several methods to treat it and avoid these cracks.

However, despite the great effort made by the olive wood, the objects made from it are unique and precious.

4. What is the best wood for the fireplace?

Few people use firewood to heat the whole house. The fireplace has remained today as a complement to other heating systems and in other cases, as something decorative that they only light some days of the year.

a) What should wood for fireplaces look like?

The most suitable wood for fireplaces should be that which gives a lot of radiant and sustained heat, that is to say, which is not consumed very quickly, which does not sizzle and which leaves embers. Among the most common species we have in Spain, we have the following:

1. Excellent firewood: From the following species: Beech, holm oak, olive, elm, fresh, alder…
2. Good wood: The one coming from strawberry trees, maple, Aleppo pine walnut…
3. Medium wood: Juniper, chestnut, Scots pine, stone pine, cypress, fir, corn, willow

White woods, such as poplar, are woods that burn very quickly and leave no embers, so they are not very suitable for the fireplace. Olive wood burns well because it burns slowly, but you have to add some fine wood so that it does not go out. Acacia, fruit trees, elm, ash and bananas are also good woods for the fireplace. As for pine and fir, they have the great glue that sizzles a lot and gives a thick smoke due to the excess of resin they have. Beech wood burns very well when it is two or three years old, as it gives a good ember and burns well. The best of all would be hornbeam or birch, which does not burn very fast but leaves a lot of embers and is very hot.
