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.
@@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.
I bought some from you! It’s amazing wood! I can’t wait to use it on an awesome project! :)
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?
I made handle scales for my 1911s with iron wood. They are awesome!

"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.
Just one question...
How do you know what burning diapers smell like?
How does it compare to bois de arc ( Osage orange, hedge apple, horse apple) or whatever it’s called from where your from?
Looks good
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.
What method do you use to get it to those dimensions?, Table saw? band saw?
An example of a finished result from one of these blocks would have been nice.
is there iron in it, do i need a special grinder for it
no, it is just timber (wood, lumber)
What species of tree ist it?
The boardwalk decking Atlantic City is made from iron wood..
That honesty tho... Ha. Burnt diapers
Iron wood... Is that another name for the Australian Eucalyptus tree called Iron bark?
Its from Mophane tree found in sub saharan africa.
