If you like Ironwood

[Jesse Latham]

Thought I'd share a picture of some ironwood I cut up. The rough is sitting on my pickup tailgate.

Where did you find it, up on Rattlesnake mountain?

You must be familiar with this area! But no, I bought it from a guy who drug it out of the desert.

Ya, my earliest memories as a child was living in the original Hanford construction camp trailer park just outside the 300 area. I grew up in the Tri-Cities, mostly in Kennewick.

Beautiful STUFF!! Love it sand it and buff!!

 

[John Wilson]

I’ve never seen desert ironwood in its natural state before. Who would ever image what’s inside of that?!

That park is still there. I lived in Kennewick for years. Now I'm west of the Richland Wye on top of the hill.

Lots of different colors for sure.

 

[Greg Rice]

Dang.

 

[KenH]

WOW!!!! Looks like it's already dry and ready for scales?

 

[Jesse Latham]

Yes, dry and stinky.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Yes, dry and stinky.

that's the truth. Stinkiest wood ever.

 

[Jon Buescher]

Jesse, I am in Walla Walla! I didn't realize you were so close!

 

[Jesse Latham]

I am in Walla Walla!

I have noticed you were. I get over there occasionally. I get to Bruce Bumps once in a while. I was there several weeks ago for a Blue Mountain Blacksmith Guild thing. We twisted a custom handrail of 1 1/4" solid bar. If you get this way come visit.
