I striped the bark off it and its spent the night and most of today on the cooker and dried nicely. This is the result which I've dressed in a blackberry flavour and 10 coats of ca.

It if very holly like Brian. I thought that it was going to have a bit of colour in it initially because it looked good initially. I do like it, it was easy to turn, sanded like a dream and polished up lovely.

I don't know if holly and bramble are related because I've just put them side by side and the part on the holly that has no colour looks exactly like the bramble.
