Holly
Product Description
Wood is sold by the Square Foot.. Boards are random width.
The tree is slow-growing and small, so the wood is rare, particuarly in any substantial size, and it is likely to have knots which further reduces the sizes available for some applications. The tree has to be cut in winter and put into a kiln almost immediately or the wood will develop serious blue-stain which really ruins the white color that is this wood's claim to fame.
Fine-grained and nearly devoid of figure, this moderately expensive wood is used mostly for small objects. It is a terrific contrast-color wood that turns well, glues well, and works well in general.
Used extensively in the boating industry with teak for soles. (floors)
