In the north country near Lake Superior we have Northern Ironwood. It is the best kept secret around for fantastic density and sound. Strikers......shocking!!!! :boon:

My folks have an ironwood tree in their back yard..Mom planted it long before I was born and it's still there and growing.  It makes sense that it would be ideal for a striker...now I just gotta find someone who has some wood to turn a few for me!!

Desert Ironwood makes real nice looking and sounding strikers but the blanks aren't cheap. It cost me over 50 bucks for four pieces and I snapped 2. :TrainWreck1:
