Information:
Ironwood is native to the Sonoran Desert and is found in Mexico Arizona,
and California. The wood it produces is so hard and dense that it
sinks in water. It was typically used for firewood and charcoal. The
wood is not in immediate danger
of extinction but is a protected wood in Mexico. The wood I
use is from dead trees that are over 200 years old and is legally
obtained. This particular piece has two tone colors because the wood
has both sapwood and heartwood next to each other.
Box Elder is a fast growing tree that was often planted as a shade tree and for windbreaks. The wood is plain but sometimes Box Elder produces a burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots. This burl wood is highly figured. The Box Elder Burl I use in my knives comes from a storm-damaged tree that was part of the original trees planted during the Mormon migration to Utah. This particular piece has lots of figure and provides a nice contrast to the Two-Tone Ironwood. |
