A sincere thank you to the mystery benefactor who left three beautiful, heavy logs on my workbench at LVC this morning!
This wood has an incredible deep red heartwood and a texture that speaks of our Cyprus mountains here. With Larnaca officially named the European Capital of Culture 2030, this gift feels like a timely inspiration—a piece of our land to help us prepare for the journey ahead.
I have a strong feeling about what this tree is but not 100%, but I’d love to test your knowledge! Does anyone recognise this wood as I use Olive wood most of the time, or anyone know its local Cypriot name? We are looking forward to turning these into something special that celebrates our island’s story. 👇"
