If there are any woodworkers in the Portland area who would like a couple
of free holly wood trunks (yes - TRUNKS! - these are old puppies), please
contact me via e-mail.

I've heard this wood is prized for its whiteness and as a good material
for doing inlay work.

Here's some more info on the Holly wood:

#1 -
10.5 feet long, base diameter approx. 4 inches, top diameter 1.5 inches.
This one has been cut and in my basement for 1.5 years. It's a dry
basement and doesn't have great temperature fluctuations.

#2 -
8 feet long, 5.5 feet approx. 10 inches in diameter, top 3.5 feet branches
off into 4 smaller pieces 3-4 inches in diameter.
This one is still alive and in the ground - the top has been lopped off at
the 8 foot level.

Ideally I would like one person to take both - or at least one full trunk.

Let me know if you are interested.

-Eric

I don't need any - have my own 70+ year old holly cut down
by our beloved power company. (might grow into their hi-lines).

I've turned Holly - it is great ! - Turns nice and behaves itself
when green.  Very tight and a bit stringy, but does a wonderful job.

What I want to do with my logs is build a tall turned Pirple Martin
house (et. al.)
Multi-stages all fitting together and hung from a strong limb.
