I for one would like to see some more good pictures of ironwood to confirm what it looks like. Leaves would be nice also if anyone could. Pictures of some hedge would be nice also.

As long as the ironwood you're referring to is Eastern Hophornbeam, I'll hook ya up this weekend sometime. I got a brand shiny new camera to try out, 14MP! and an 8x zoom. Ironwood leaf pics can be had year round, as long as you don't mind them being brown. They hang onto their leaves tighter than any oak. I swear the new growth leaves have to push the old ones off the branch come spring.

I will split some tomorrow. I think the wood seems a little stringy. Maybe light tan color. I'll post some more pics after I split some. Oh yeah, I'll also take a couple of good sniffs and see if I can try to see what it smells like....
Warm regards,

No distinct odor, light tan to gray color. This wood is splitting on it's own. I can pull a lot of it apart with my hands. Not heavy like oak, but not light either. The bark is coming off in sheets. Sure hope it is worthwhile. I'm goin to burn some and see what's what.

Ok finally had a chance to take some more pics. Notice how it is breaking up on it's own in one pic? Well hope this helps to ID it.
