American Holly score

In the US is it considered to be bad luck to cut down a holly tree?

Only if the drop goes poorly

 

I’ve planted a bunch to counteract the bad luck.

 

Japanese and Chinese hollies are chit shrubs that architects spec to fill space.

 

Is the holly stick i gave you part of your "hoard" of it?

 

You know it I cut it to lengths last year but almost don't have the heart to burn them. That's the problem I have with "specialty" woods.

 

This Holly score is going to net around 3/4 of a cord.
If a big female Holly is near a parking lot and that parking lot has big trees around to perch in, migrating birds are going to gang crap the cars in that lot. I have seen cars splashed with Holly seeds.

 

Just throw some bamboo in the mix too.

 

mebbe you guys can swap some firewood? What do you have for trade Eric?

 

I got a good laugh out of that one Dave!

PITA trying to install a downspout behind one!

 

Look at the price of holly lumber

 

That's a nice score, brother. Glad you're getting it split quick. It will get punky fairly fast. We have about a 1/3 cord left. Lot of holly down here.

 

Using one of my homeowner saws to cut the small stuff

Got this stem and one more 3’ piece left and the Holly is all racked up

 

Holly’s done. It doesn’t make pretty splits, but I bet it will light up easily once it’s dried.

Nice clean Saw

 

X2!

 

I talked to a sawmill owner yesterday and he said it’s highly valuable. He said it’s sold by the pound and used for making piano keys. Well frik it looks like me or a lucky customer will be burning highly valuable piano keys in a few years.
