Years ago a company was making handgun grips from this wood.
Grips looked like ivory.
Anyone know of this outlet or if the wood is available? Thanks.

No, but check out these guys for real and simulated ivory.
There's an issue with Holly, in that it's very soft and requires stabilizer to gain any durability. I have some in the vacuum chamber currently soaking up some clear in the white. I'm doing some knife scales in red white and blue.
You could possibly soak them in a wood hardener to gain stability, but that stuff is a skin deep treatment.
And here I thought this was a race issue🤨
I thought it was about "white privilege" in the movie industry.
Hey..........the HOLLYWOOD sign is white.
You guys have an interesting way of turning an average topic into a political thread. Seems childish to me, but as Danny Heff used to say, a thread goes where it goes.
Carry on.
Geri, I think this is the place you're looking for, https://www.culinagrips.com/
FYI, Olive tree branches cut green, and the bark stripped off, look and age like ivory too.
Another maker of grips for 1911's and some smiths that works in holly is https://www.collinswoodcrafting.com He also sells on GB.
Trap55.. Thanks. That is it.
