Arizona Desert Ironwood is spectacular in these billy clubs! It's difficult to work and very dense. Its specific gravity is about 1.20, compared to snakewood's 1.36 and ebony's 1.16. But it's very stable, too.
I had a big hunk of Arizona ironwood. You need a car hoist to move it unless you want to take your back out
