Wahka_est Posted September 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2021 Hi, Does someone maybe have source in EU for American holly. If not Eu then maybe US but not retail or small shop so its close to the source. As you imagine its almost impossible to find "holly wood" supplier in google .

Jaager Posted September 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2021 https://www.rarewoodsusa.com/species/holly/?_product_categories=holly&_paged=2 Best that I can come up with is Rare Woods. Holly is a small yree that does not grow all that straight. mtaylor 1 Quote NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

allanyed Posted September 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2021 Vahur Try https://www.gilmerwood.com/search/results?utf8=✓&q=holly They are a great supplier. Can't speak for pricing with overseas shipments though.

RichardG Posted September 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2021 I have used gilmerwood (including for holly) and would recommend them. Another couple of suppliers I have used are https://www.cookwoods.com/ and https://www.exoticlumber.com/. The availability varies from week to week. Holly is really expensive though. I assume you're looking for supplies to mill? Generally I've found Exotic Woods to be cheapest but supplies are very limited (beware of their search, it will show out of stock items). Cook Woods is usually the most expensive but do have 1/8" and 1/4" sheets. Shipping will just add to the eye-watering cost. mtaylor 1 Quote Richard Current Build: Early 19th Century US Revenue Cutter (Artesania Latina "Dallas" - messed about) Completed Build: Yakatabune - Japanese - Woody Joe mini Member: Nautical Research Guild & Midwest Model Shipwrights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahka_est Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted September 22, 2021 Hi Thank you all for input. I went teough all my EU suppliers today and feedback is big no. I will contact US suppliers and see what they can offer. It all comes down to price in the end but i hope to get as near to the original source as possible. It would be awesome if i could offer that.

allanyed Posted September 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2021 Hi Vahur, Not really, but Eastern European, as all four of my grandparents came to the US from Ukraine, about 600 miles south of Estonia, between 1910 and 1914. I must admit, I used Google translator in my post above. My French and Italian are rudimentary but my Estonian is non-existent.
