    That's good info about the maple. I'll try that the next time I saw maple in warm weather.

    The staining in holly may be both chemical and fungal according to wood Dr Professor Gene Wengert: "Holly is cut in cold weather because both the fungal and chemical staining are very slow at wintertime temperatures."

    I don't know if any if you receive hard copy or read CabinetMakerFDM on the web but oddly there us an article in this months issue on Holly. Found it interesting (not the article necessarily but the coincidence of timing)
