Had a conversation with Paul and Jeff at the first breakfast about IRON WOOD...it does exist!
To be considered IRON WOOD, it has to be so dense that it sinks in water....North America has 2 types...DESERT IRONWOOD in the SW, a 30x20 multi-trunk, twisted wood tree...and Hop-Hornbeam in North Dakota....One of the densest IRON WOODS tested, is in South America!
Osage Orange is tough to cut, how would you cut this stuff, or lift it????
