Yes, Paula - actually we got the idea from these folks: http://www.livewirefarm.com/t_hooks_1.html
We ordered honey from them too and now produce both ourselves but not for sale; at least not yet.
Our Olive trees are completely overgrown and I've been doing research on how to bring them back to a productive form. The advice I've read is to cut them all the way back down to about 2 meters high. I don't know if we'll go that far but still a dramatic trim back would produce a whole heap of hooks. If and when that happens we may try to sell them - especially if we can get 40.00 a piece for them!
Nice. Bet you could sell that, especially out of olive wood.
