Catalan craftsman breathes new life into old olive tree wood

“You need to adapt to what’s in front of you.” That’s not Josep Gasol Pujol’s philosophy for life, but for woodcarving, and particularly for working with olive tree wood. For 26 years it’s been his hobby and he shared his flair for it in a free workshop at the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Exhibition – Fira de l’Oli – held in the Catalan district Les Garrigues in January.
