Description
Holly (*Ilex opaca* in North America) is a unique hardwood prized for its exceptionally pale, almost pure white colour and fine, even grain. It is one of the whitest woods available, often with little to no visible grain pattern, making it a popular choice for inlays, decorative accents, and musical instruments where a clean, striking appearance is desired. Holly is moderately dense, relatively hard, and takes a fine polish. Additionally, because of its smooth finish and light colour, Holly wood is often dyed or used in marquetry and other precise woodworking projects. Its rarity and aesthetic make it a sought-after wood for specialty applications in fine woodworking.
