I bought some from you! It’s amazing wood! I can’t wait to use it on an awesome project! :)

[@SuperRobertheath]

I made handle scales for my 1911s with iron wood. They are awesome!

[@hudsonhill6925]

Hey i have a question, did you have any adverse heath problems while you worked with the wood. I am just starting on a handle now and I hear the chemicals in the wood are really bad for you.

[@nicholaslandolina]

Looks good

[@andyiliff7793]

"it kind of smells like you're burning diapers" That's quite the description 🤣👍 I'll have to check it out for some chisel handles.

[@samstirling4279]

The best sales pitch ever, I particularly love the phase kinda’ smells like burnt diapers. It sounds great any good for scales on a folding knife?

[@gibu002]

An example of a finished result from one of these blocks would have been nice.

[@stevenolan7972]

How does it compare to bois de arc ( Osage orange, hedge apple, horse apple) or whatever it’s called from where your from?

[@dannyarrowheadstalker3054]

I've got to give it to you Will, truth in advertising is your strong point, don't know about that smell, but any piece would make a beautiful handle.

[@craftedbychris1721]

What method do you use to get it to those dimensions?, Table saw? band saw?

[@RikthDcruze]

[@wolfparty4234]

[@smithgeorge6858]

[@BandB_Bushcraft]

Iron wood... Is that another name for the Australian Eucalyptus tree called Iron bark?

[@Geraldbux0401]

Its from Mophane tree found in sub saharan africa.

[@BandB_Bushcraft]

@@Geraldbux0401 Thank you, I was curious to know. Very interesting.

[@catinvasion2432]

Iron wood is from borneo indonesia

[@cchavezjr7]

@@catinvasion2432 2 years old but this is Desert Ironwood (Olneya Tesoto) from the US Southwest. Ironwood as a term is given locally to people to their hardest wood so there are all kind of woods that are called "ironwood" and not just one from Indonesia.
