St005 Holm Oak board w. tree edge 235 x 200 x 15 mm

The holm oak (Quercus ilex) is a very long-lived evergreen deciduous tree from the Mediterranean region and has very hard, durable, and extremely interestingly grained wood. The structure and grain of this truly beautiful, high-quality, rock-hard wood are very unusual: the range is so wide that only the huge mirrors and a woven-looking structure can really be considered typical. The tree from which the wood comes, which is protected in Portugal, was very old and could therefore be felled.
