Title: european holly?
Post by: stuckinthemud on January 31, 2015, 01:28:14 pm

Anyone got any experience with European holly? I just cut a coupe of small staves and sealed the ends, so I guess I season it by putting it away for a few months before I split it? Does a holly bow need to be rectangle or D profile? I believe it doesn't need backing and it responds really well to heat treating? :)
