Title: Desert Ironwood
Post by: Dfowlup on January 27, 2021, 08:30:56 AM
Looking for a source for purchasing Desert Ironwood blanks.  Most of the blanks you see are pen and pot blanks that are not long enough.  I need 8 inches length for my strikers. Sure makes a nice striker but pretty hard to turn! dfowler@fowleroutdoors.com

This is long enough, do you need thicker than 3/4" ?
They have 12 x 1.5 x 1.5 on that site I think.

Thanks.  And 3/4" will do. The photos are from larger stock. I'm ways looking to get the most out of a piece of wood so I usually nest it in the best way to do that.  I can get 3 strikers from a 2 inch wide board if I make them using 3/4".  I just hate to buy pieces that will create a lot of waste.  The 12 x 1.5 should produce 4 strikers.
