I am not sure about that type of olive but some olive is sought by wood turners, I have seen some nice bowls turned from olive. you might want to check out http://www.sawmillcreek.org in the turners forum, I think I would at least try to get some boards out of it if you can get it to someone with a sawmill, heah I got one here in Tn. bring it down! yeah right. let me know on this just for my knowledge what you come up with., thanks Dave
