American Holly

Holly is the whitest wood commercially available. Our stock was cut during the winter and quickly dried in a vacuum kiln to prevent discoloration. The result is very white wood without gray or bluish staining. The wood is fine-grained and is excellent for turnery, inlays, musical instrument edge bandings, etc. The grade is common and better which means that there can be some defects, mainly knots.

Etimoe

This West African wood was more popular in the 1970's and 80's when we first imported it. But it is such a nice wood that when we were recently offered a nice log from Ghana we jumped at it and had it sawed mostly quartersawn and then kiln-dried it. The heartwood is reddish-brown with sometimes a coppery cast. On the quartersawn surface there is often light and dark striping which is very attractive under a finish. It has a fine to medium texture and is easily milled and sanded. Excellent for furniture, cabinetry, paneling, and flooring.

This Ebony has a marked resistance to checking that is characteristic of some of the Indian and Asian species. It has a wonderful texture and is easily carved, planed, turned, and milled. It is fairly fine-grained and takes a high polish. This Ebony usually originates in either Cameroon or Nigeria and the logs are rough hewn in the forest and oftentimes brought to the nearest road by human porters. With the disappearance of other species of black Ebony this species is fast becoming the Ebony of choice.
