I remember when Norm Abram built this beautiful hutch from misquite and added touchs made from iron wood.
It's such a beautiful wood as is your pendant.
It's nice how you can take such a piece of wood that some would throw into the scrap bin and turn it into something of value.

Very nice.

Unless you have made pendants-you have no idea of how much work goes imnto them!

Ironwood is also another experience by itself! Tests tools, and patience too.

Great job!

Looks great as is. What did you string it on Jim? Looks more like small cable that string.

Very cool pendant, I have been wondering what to do with my iron wood chunk. I'm sure you made a girl very happy.

Interesting piece of wood with a even better story. Thinking she will cherish this for years to come.

Thank you all for the nice comments. She loved it and was totally surprised by it. I roughed out 12 more from 4 different woods today while I was waiting for finish to dry. The next ones might get some inlays and Danish Oil to bring out the grains.

Hi James. I got this piece from John Goodwin at the saw mill. He has a bucket of scraps and most of it is cracked and has to be carefully cut so it does not fall apart.It is a lot of sanding and required a simple fixture to hold it for drilling.

Hi Steve, the sting is 1/16" black cable for necklaces that I bought at the Gem show in Tucson last year. Michael's sells it too.

Cheers, Jim
