   You can glue it as you would any other species. Titebond works fine.

   David..

   As a precaution I would wipe down all surfaces with Acetone first but just as I would do it... Sure you know more about Olive wood than I do!

   Yes, but David, won't the olive oil impede adhesion of the glue???  ;-)

   P.S. If you are interested I have posted a message in the Gen Discussion folder about curved cabinetry. Please peek in and see if you have any ideas - I value your advice.

   Thanks

   It's clear why the question would arise, but actually the wood doesn't contain a lot of oil just because oil is pressed from the olive fruit. In practice, in glues up without any special difficulty.

   Sorry I could not resist. 

   Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
   If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
   And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
