The holm oak (Quercus ilex) is a very long-lived evergreen deciduous tree from the Mediterranean region and has rock hard, durable, and interestingly grained wood. Their wood is rock hard, extremely durable and shows really terrific unique grain patterns. The wood shows a great variety of different patterns depending on sawing direction, it takes a mirror polish. The tree from which the wood originates, which is protected on Corfu, grew very old and was cut down due of its weakness and instability Definitely a real rarity!
