American holly is an excellent wood for turning, carving, inlay and is sometimes used in the making of fine furniture. In the past it was also valued for use as wood block engraving, umbrella handles, and the backs of brushes. When stained black, holly resembles the much-sought-after African ebony wood. Therefore, holly is often used for the black keys on pianos and organs and for the pegs and fingerboards on violins.
