Bethlehem Olive Wood Pen Blanks – Wood That Tells a Story

There’s something about olive wood that just feels right. The weight, the grain, the way it smells when sanded-it's not just material. It’s memory. And when it comes from Bethlehem, well... that adds a little soul to your hands.

Our pen blanks aren’t factory-cut or machine-sorted. They’re sliced from real olive tree branches-pruned, never chopped-from trees that have stood for hundreds of years around the hills of Bethlehem. Trees that have seen weddings, prayers, wars, peace... life. These pieces hold all of that inside, quiet but steady.

Some blanks are creamy and smooth. Others carry bold veins, dark swirls that twist like old stories. You don’t get to choose the grain-but maybe that’s the beauty of it. What you do with it is yours.

We let the wood dry the old way, over time. No rushing, no force-drying ovens. That means less warping, fewer cracks, and wood that just behaves better when you turn it. And yeah, we take care of the land too-no trees are ever cut down. Just gentle pruning, like it’s always been.

For everyone, these olive wood blanks are a joy to shape, whether you're a seasoned wood pen maker or trying your first lathe spin. Easy on your tools, kind to your finish, and full of character and natural olive wood grains.

Each order comes with a certificate of authenticity. Not for show-but because it really matters where this came from. It’s more than wood. It’s a piece of the Holy Land, ready to become something new.

Step into pen turning with something that actually means something. Our Bethlehem olive wood pen blanks aren’t just nice to look at-they carry real history. You’re not just making a pen... you’re working with wood from the Holy Land, shaped by time and tradition. Each piece brings beauty, honesty, and a little bit of care for the earth too.
