Large piece of Holly to sell. Need help pricing.

[bshilkitus]

Hey all, I have a large piece of holly that I don't need. I really don't know what it is worth. Can someone give me an idea as to what a fair deal would be? The board measure 8" wide, 1 7/8" thick, and 7 feet long. I would describe the color as a very light cream.

With holly, it’s all about the color, which is about timing of the cut (time of year) and drying. Holly should be harvested in cold weather and moved to kiln quickly to maintain the white color. If it has gray or blue in it, price goes down (and can drop significantly). I’ve also bought from Cook and what you get at those prices is very white.

Here’s a response that will probably be a surprise. If it has a lot of gray showing after you plane it, I’d be interested. Could you possibly run it through the planer and then send phot?
Thanks.
Bob.

I have to know what you’re going to use that for - of all the responses I would have expected, that wasn’t one of them.

One of the products that Jean and I offer at craft fairs are wooden vases. Right now, grayish colored versions are popular. We can find gray poplar once in a while.

Well, not grey. Kinda cream-colored when compared to very white paper.
