Arizona ironwood comes from a desert tree in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, Olneya tesota. A bushy tree with small blue-green leaves and lavender flowers.
Trees are not cut, because to be used the wood must have died naturally, parched and partly mineralized by arid desert conditions. It is a rare and precious material, because this process can take several hundred years.
Arizona ironwood is very hard. He holds stone, without being fossilized. It has warm colors of sand and earth dominated by ocher and dark brown.
