Just Plain Holly

very nice......

[Robert Henrickson]

Nice! I'm glad you let it be itself for color.

When I got about 20' of a neighbor's holly tree about a year ago, I cut it up into mostly 1-2" thick pieces within 24 hours, and piled it with spacers in my basement which is constant temperature and dry (the stack is about 6' high, and I got about 3 bushels of sawdust from the bandsaw). It's dried without staining or cracking. I didn't seal the ends. Even the pieces I left a bit of bark on did not stain. I did cut a few pieces 3x3 or 4x4.

[Baxter Smith]

Great form Ted. It is elegant in its simplicity! Not easy to do!

[David E Keller]

Lovely piece! Very nicely done!

[Ted Calver]

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Fresh Holly is a pleasure to turn and it dried without much movement. I was pleasantly surprised.

[Dan Hintz]

Well, hey... if you want to get rid of some of that "extra" before it stains, there are plenty of us close enough and willing to take it off of your hands

I like the shape of that piece of Holly Ted. Nice work
