Ironwood is an Arizona native lumber ideal for tool handles, levers and even sleigh runners. A true Sonoran desert beauty perfect for any timber enthusiast. However, due to its density Ironwood is incredibly hard to cut. This tree does not grow very tall (around 30 ft max) so this wood is used in small projects, but it has a great natural luster that can make the wood appear glass-like.
