Olive Wood

I could only find the one thread relating to this, and rather than rez'ing a 7 year old thread figured I'd just start this one. One of my hort guys has some punky olive wood from a tree they're removing; does anyone know the nutritional value or lack thereof of this wood?  I haven't seen it yet, nor do I know the specific species of olive. Supposedly the foliage is browsable, but I have no idea if the wood is usable for grubs.  As long as it's not toxic to grubs I'm willing to give it a go, but just wanted to see if anyone else had any experience using it.  

 
I agree! It is gorgeous wood. Unfortunately since it's on zoo grounds can't exactly just haul it out for some cool carpentry project.  Plus it sounds like it's about 90% rotten anyways.  Ah well.  Thanks for the input though! I'll try and give it a go. 

 
Yeah, if rotten it is good as food. Same goes for citrus trees by the way, although the are considered "softwood" rather than hardwood..
