Carving an olive wood book pendant.

Sometimes, carving is simply relaxing for me—doing something I know and love, working with a type of wood that feels right in the moment. Today, that was olive wood, and it became a book pendant. I even made my first short long-form video about it.

In case anyone is interested in making one themselves, I’ve put together a small sketch diagram with general dimensions and carving steps. Feel free to use it to make your own! If anything is unclear, just reach out—I’d be happy to help.

Have a great day,

Samuel!
