i haven't carved it, but years ago i did work it with power tools, and that was easy enough. it's a wood i'd think about carving green, like for making spoons and bowls. the grain can be twisty.

I went to a couple of carving shops in Israel that pretty much only work in olive. They were power tool oriented. I have also turned it. It's a tough wood... really hard. It is very pretty lots of color and contrast.
