A friend asked me if I wanted some holly for firewood. I said "I'll be right over" Got a bunch I cut myself and sealed the end grains. Now I can take my time making blanks. I usually dry the item in its own sawdust in a cardboard box for about 12 months. Any suggestions for me to store the better? Thanks.
Holly notoriously gets blue stain if not dried quickly. I don’t know if being in its own sawdust would increase that. I recently got some 10” logs for turning. I split the logs to avoid cracks and then I sealed the ends and stored with spacers so it would dry. I did not get too much stain. Good luck
I suppose it would but it depends on the thickness of the cutting board. Get your contrasting wood am do your calculations. Be sure to leave about 15% for both as waste. Good luck.

I got a 1"×7"×6' beautiful piece of holly.
I'm a newbie. Can this be used for long grain cutting board?

I'm thinking on using Holly as accent
What was the name of the sealer you used?
