The name '''ironwood''' refers to the core of this tree, however, the tough inner bark is of a valuable nature as well, having long been used in making cordage and nets. Ironwood is heavy and strong, making it an ideal wood for shields that values rock-hard strength, at the expense of added weight. While the ironwood is valued for its products, the complicated business of lumbering it makes it a poor choice when looking for firewood. As well, it is an expensive wood. |

The '''ironwood''' tree is named for its tough heartwood. It is a wood that is perfect for making shields and certain types of weapons, though the hardness of the material is twinned with substantial weight. The inner bark of the ironwood tree has long been utilized for manufacturing nets, ropes, and the like - though the process is long and arduous. The very toughness of this tree curtails the available quantity and, hence, makes ironwood quite expensive. |
