The Olive Tree (Olea europaea). They may live as long as 1500 years. It's native to Northern Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe. Also grown in California, Florida and Arizona. This particular tree, is found near le-Pont-du-Gard west of Avignon, France, it's believed to have started its life ca. AD 709.
I doubt that this ring is made of wood from a 1300 year old tree. but it's olive wood none the less. Olive wood has a faint yet nice smell to it when you cut it. As you can imagine it's kinda olivey. I like the texture of this wood, its very smooth, very fine with closed pores. There is a certain allure to it's simplicity, it's hard for me to describe any more than that.
