duckkisser Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 We sent a bunch of holly trees that were knocked down by winds during Sandy through a large chipper at work. If only I knew......... Uggggg that kills me if it was properly dried it's worth a small fortune. I always check the wood to see if it's worth my cuting it into lumber for example wallnut tree went down at work and I choped it up into turning blanks.

Coop Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Duck, I just talked to my wife's uncle in Louisiana and he had his 35 acres clear cut in November, harvesting the pines and along with it, went everything else including the hollies. Sorry for the false hopes. I posted here instead of pm in hopes that another member would come thru for you. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enclosed spaces Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Would have replied ( yes one of those 200), I have Holly, it's no longer that lovely white colour though. Have in the brush on the ground. Trying to get it to spalt. Also have some smaller pieces in my wood pile, the stuff is heavy, shipping would be a deal breaker. Good luck!

Rick A McQuay Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Duck, I probably have some holly in my shop but it would be small stuff, probably 3 - 3.5" in diameter including the bark and pith. I use it mostly for accent wood although recently I made an axe handle from holly. I cut in winter and air dry, no issues with it changing color although mine ends up the color of bone or ivory (off white). A drawer front I made for a charity deal, it was part of a larger piece of furniture. The dulcimer and trim are holly finished with blonde shellac. It looks slightly more tan in this picture than in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Duck- the woodcraft in ATL always seems to have a giant box of 1x1 sized holly. 3-4 foot long. It's practically free from what I recall. Give them a shout, I can send some your way if they still have it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 i was just looking at the woodcraft catalog today and saw they had some. even the small pieces were like 10 dollars for a small piece. holly is just one of those wood thats super rare to get like apple and pear. best way to get it is to know someone who is going to cut some trees and has the boards waiting in his shop.

wouldwurker Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Call the ATL location...it's literally in a cardbox box with pencil handwritten 'holly sticks', or 'holly scraps', or something along those lines. I recall it being like 99 cents a stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well, to tie a bow on this lovefest, DK sent me mixed bag of mineral goodies and some exotic cut offs as a thanks. What a mensch! I'll have to look at some of his mixed media portfolio for inspirado. Nice people doing nice things for each other out of love for a common hobby, a willingness to help, and an appreciation of seeing each other do well and learn. That's why this is such a great forum.

duckkisser Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Let me know when you decide to use the stone chips I'll give you some tips like paint the bottom of the inlay with black paint to make the color stand out. Or if you use automotive paint additive it will make the highlights change color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
