working with holly


John McGee

Recommended Posts

A few months ago I bought a small block of holly for use in inlays. A few days ago I ran the sides through the jointer to flatten them out. Almost the whole thing turned a powdery blue. blink.gif

I sanded a spot with no difference. It's sat for a few days, hoping it would oxidize white, but nothing.

1) Any ideas why this happened?

2) What can I do about it?
