We offer select holly lumber and turning blanks ideal for inlays, fine woodworking, woodturning, musical instruments, and decorative accents that require precision and contrast. Holly is one of the whitest woods available, making it perfect for intricate detailing, marquetry, or any project where a clean, high-contrast element is desired. Its close grain and uniform texture allow for crisp carving and smooth finishes, though care should be taken to avoid discolouration during machining or drying. As a proudly Canadian company, Windsor Plywood specializes in sourcing rare and hard-to-find wood species, offering expert advice and personalized service along the way. Whether you’re creating elegant inlays or turning a fine spindle, holly adds a touch of refined brightness to your next woodworking project.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"holly-hardwood-lumber","title":"Holly Hardwood Lumber","description":"\u003cp\u003eHolly is the whitest natural wood available -- uniform creamy white with virtually no visible grain.
