This is our sixth wood feature giving information about rare and unusual woods of the world. Some of these woods are used by Higdon Writing Instruments for making our custom writing instruments and others are ones that we think are interesting and worth highlighting. This week we are highlighting a wood that most everyone has heard but don’t know what it looks like, American Holly. American Holly or Ilex opaca grows in the southeastern states from eastern Texas to middle Florida and extents up along the eastern coast to Delaware where it is the State Tree. It is particularly prevalent in the Piedmont, the Appalachians, and the southern coastal plain.
