Desert Ironwood
Source: The southwestern desert areas of the United States and the Sonoran desert of Mexico.
Description: Ironwod is so dense it will not float in water and must moved by current motions. One popular usage of the wood is for knife handles, since the hardness and density is ideal. Due to the high hardness of the wood, processing wood is difficult, and requires the hacksaw, or other metal-working type tools. Final treatment of the wood with solutions can be difficult, due to the desert ironwood's high density.
Availability: Desert Ironwood is moderately available.
