Desert Ironwood

Desert Ironwood grows predominantly in the deserts of Arizona and California, USA as well as Mexico. It is one of the hardest and densest woods in the world, with a specific gravity around 1.2 or more. The color may be like the picture above or any variation of light to very dark browns, with or without lighter areas. Burls have high figure. The logs are full of cracks and making a clean turning blank of any size requires removal of about 95% of the log. This is why it is usually sold in logs rather than clean turning blanks, since the material cost for clean turning blanks averages over 20 times the cost for logs. These trees are harvested legally from a reputable source in Arizona and now also from another reputable source in Mexico . The pieces we sell are completely air dried unless otherwise noted on the item.

Pen Blanks

Grading system for ironwood:
A grade means that this is a completely clean turning blank with almost no cracks or checks. Tiny defects are allowed, but very uncommon. If grade isn’t stated, assume A grade
B grade means that this is a good turning blank, but there will be some small fissures or checks. We try to glue these with cyanoacrylate glue for you.
C grade means that this is a cleaned up section of a log, but will have some cracks, gaps, and/or checks, and may be rough cut.
