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????

I have cut a bunch of Osage Orange. It is hard, but can be cut with a regular chain saw and turned on a lathe with standard HHS tools. Iron wood is completely different. I wouldn't attempt to cut with a standard chain saw. I would think something like a cobra carbide saw chain ($300+). Turning with HHS tools is very difficult, tools need to be sharpened every couple of passes. I use carbide cutters, and it even dulls them quickly.

They do, as least half the time...the problem is telling which half....(T-Bone may be 75% lies and the rest are damn lies)....
