Holly stem uses?

[conkers]

Does anyone know if large Holly stems are prized as I understood they are valued by woodturners and carvers.

Any other uses?

The ones I am refering to are about twenty foot long and up to ten to twenty inches diameter.

All my sections usually end up as firewood but I can't see these going the same way.

I know I sound clueless on the topic but how often do such large Holly stems crop up.

 

By the way: Consent was given for the fells- unreal!

and there will be replanting!

I've heard of the would being used in fine furniture (things with inlaid designs on).

Gareth might have them off you,

Holly is quite hard, and it's good for things like wedges, small handles, etc. It doesn't often come in such large sections, though.

South lakes- Cumbria.

Unfortunatly the base of the tree seperated as it was four seperate stems.

 

There is a large pollard bowl though from about six foot up!
