henry d Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 This wood is from early 1900`s and I have no idea where it comes from,the branch(?) knots all have that distinct shape and are irregularly spaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palombier Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I agree with Poacher, looks like holly to me. Regards P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pelt man Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I think it's from a fruit tree. My money is with Dingo45 CHERRY If it burns very hot with more of a blue flame its Cherry more cool & yellow it will have been Ivy PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palombier Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Henry I am quite sure the wood is holly which has been stained. Holly is virtually white when stripped. If you type 'holly stick' into Google images you will find one or 2 examples, the one on the third page is quite a good example. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryhawk Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Tis holly, had a beating stick that i stripped and stained looked just the same. Lasted a good few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiercel Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 If it is oval then it's Holly. If it is round, I would say stripped Blackthorn. Tiercel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
