   I purchase olivewood there. Restock routinely, usually good selection.

   Cookwoods.com has olivewood. It's rare to see in wide or long pieces as its a pretty gnarly tree. They have good sized turning blanks. But a warning about the price - it's not cheap. Dont know about acacia. It seems like there are many different trees that are called acacia.

   California-- that's where there are olive groves. Commercially I can think of two places. Paroba in Richmond CA. and Arborica in Marshall. Neither place is cheap. I not long ago rescued a pile of Acacia logs from the firewood guy. California's recent crazy weather has resulted in thousands of blown down trees. Years of drought has killed off many orchards and now wetlands that were turned into farmland are now wetlands again after this year's too much water disaster. Tulare lake was the second largest lake west of the Mississippi and was drained in the 1920's -- its a lake again, and will remain so for at least a couple of years so many more orchards will die. After burning down a few Calfornia towns the power companies are cutting thousands of trees! So, I think there is wood a plenty available. I don't think crazy lumber prices can hold behind it! This flitch sawn epoxy filled slab fad has turned previously unuseable worthless wood into seriously expensive lumber! The people selling will be the last to let you know. I'm going to be spending a lot more time in the vicinity of the San Joaquin Valley since my son is moving out that way this spring... where the olives are grown.. and will go on the hunt for sure. I would search Craigslist in central California communities. I've found some good deals for lumber that way from guys who have nothing more than a chainsaw and a truck.

   Bell Forest Products (dot com) in Michigan has both. I've ordered from them 3 times and have received good quality lumber each time.
