    Holly Burl bottle opener with turquoise

    I decided to turn a piece of Holly burl that was given to me, and found that internally, there was some gaps and worm holes. No problem! The big 'turquoise smile' went in about a 1/2", so it would have been scrapped if I did not have some nice filler. Total length is 7". The resolution...

    what to do with Holly

    A friend of mine is cutting down some Holy trees and asked I as interested in them. I know that 2 of them are dead already, but there are at least 2 more that are alive. The trunks are about 12" in diameter. Does it make sense to go after these things and if I do is there an ideal way to saw...

    the holly grail of exterior wood finish

    In the search for the holly grail of natural looking exterior wood finish. First, many will tell you that selecting ‘exterior’ wood and applying no finish at all is the way to go, it is the easiest way to go for sure. I’ve tried it with and without a finish; I enjoy the look, smell, and feel...
