Need custom milled blanks?  Give us your dimensions and we'll mill it the way you need it.  Or buy large slabs and mill it yourself.

 

  • Desert Ironwood is one of the rarest and oldest living species on earth and only grows in the Sonoran Desert.  Old growth fiber and density is reflective in its tight grain pattern.  As such it makes for an ideal tone wood or very stable knife handle.  Its density and natural stability also make it ideal for high end crafts because it will not shrink or warp over time or climate change. Turning ironwood is a delight, because it carves very well; does not splinter, finishes with ease and takes a beautiful polish.  

  • Desert Ironwood has a specific gravity of 1.2, making it one of densest and most stable woods on earth. It is so dense that it will not float in water, and so hard that it has been used for bearings. However, it turns and carves with ease using sharp hand, machine and CNC equipment.  

  • We are the premier supplier of Desert Ironwood and have many sizes and discounts for volume orders.  Our small team can custom mill your size and figure quality upon your phone call or email, and can usually have it ready to ship within a day or two.

  • Contact us anytime to discuss a purchase that meets your budget and needs.
