Ironwood is aptly named as it is very dense and heavy, making it difficult to work. Oleyna Tesota Ironwood trees are found predominantly in the North American Sonoran desert which stretches from Arizona south to Northern Mexico. As they have for generations, skilled artisans in this region collect naturally fallen logs and craft them into wonderfully detailed figurines and other decorative items. The finished pieces are sanded and polished to a smooth glow that needs no lacquer or top coat. They are also easy to care for with occasional dusting and buffing using common shoe polish. In addition to the beauty of deep grains and rich dark wood color, the relative scarcity of naturally fallen slow-growing ironwood makes these pieces great collectible art.
