IECAP LLC Pack of 1 Hardwood Ironwood Blanks (Burl Ball Pattern), Exotic Wood – Carving Woodchucks – Hardwood Lumber – Natural Wood for DIY Crafts – Size 5 1/8 x 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 in

As other reviews have said, don't expect burl. Still for the price this is a beautiful (and hefty) piece of wood. Started working it tonight, at only 150 grit this block is very smooth and has a waxy feel to it. It's almost like satin, can't wait to get to higher grits.

Blank received was as beautiful as sample advertised. Ironwood or Desert Ironwood as it is sometimes called is somewhat rare and hard to come by. Good price. Wish it was available in so other sizes. 1 1/2” X1 1/2” X 6” for instance.

Well sadly like most of the reviews on here my piece also just had a straight grain pattern. Absolutely zero burl in the block. That aside it is definitely iron wood and best of all the given dimensions are 100% accurate. When I got the block I thought it looked a bit small but a quick measure with the tape showed it was dead on. Hopefully this will produce a couple of good knife scales. My only suggestion is they take the word "burl" out of the description.

The color on this wood is so deep and the feeling in your hand is almost as if it is alive.

The picture and description shows and describes a quality piece of Burl Ironwood. You can clearly see in my photo, there is no Burl. It’s straight grain all the way through the piece. I’m very unhappy. I’m only going to keep it because I’ve already sent one piece back, because it was also straight grain and had a crack running all most the full length of the piece.Update: decided to send product back and get refund. If customers continue to accept this falsely described and advertised product, the company will continue this practice.I think Amazon should band this seller.

The scales had a good thickness which made for lots of different styles of knife scales. First time that I’ve worked with Ironwood, it’s a little bit different than most woods that I’ve used before. It cuts and sands beautifully and shines up like stone or metal. The knife in the picture is finished with just paste wax. It has such a high oil content that it doesn’t need coats of polyurethane or tung or linseed oil. I’m really happy with the way it turned out

I received the ironwood, very nice grain, however. I did not check the dimensions closely enough and turns out to be much smaller than I thought. My fault. For the price I do believe it should have been a bigger piece of ironwood. Just my opinion.

Fast shipping good price

Can't recommend.
