Desert Ironwood Ljus

Approx. 30x40x120mm

Desert ironwood (also known as Olneya) is very hard and heavy. Its density is greater than water and thus sinks. One popular usage for the wood is for knife handles, since its hardness, grain, and coloring is ideal.

Due to its considerable hardness, processing desert ironwood is difficult. Final treatment of the wood with solutions can also be difficult because of its high density.
