Each piece is uniquely shaped from natural olive wood bark, showcasing organic edges and one-of-a-kind character that highlights the raw beauty of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003eAt the heart of this family craft is Ibrahim Giacaman, a fourth-generation Christian woodcarver who, along with his father, Salem, runs the largest olive wood factory in Israel. Ibrahim first learned the art of carving from his father and grandfather, Elias, later studying art and sculpture in Bethlehem and at the Academy of Fine Art in Florence, Italy. Today, he works alongside his family, personally creating designs and finishing each piece by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eThe olive wood used is sourced from branches pruned from olive groves, never from cut-down trees, honoring a sustainable and respectful tradition. The branches are naturally dried for a year or more before carving begins, allowing the wood to develop its rich grain and natural character. Careful attention is given to selecting and shaping each piece, with natural variations, small cracks, and imperfections embraced as part of its authentic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1645\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eBecause of the handmade nature of these ornaments, each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the photo, making every ornament truly one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earth Wood, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41436605317300,"sku":"102239600007","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6559\/5501\/products\/BarkSliceCowSkullWF41822.jpg?v=1751048124","url":"https:\/\/www.queencreekolivemill.live\/products\/bark-slice-cow-skull","provider":"Queen Creek Olive Mill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
