This Australian native timber is known for its deep red to dark brown hues, which add a distinctive character and elegance to the finished products. Its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear make it an ideal choice for knife scales, providing a sturdy and long-lasting grip that can withstand the rigors of daily use. For pen turning, the fine grain and the ability to polish to a high sheen allow artisans to create exquisite, durable writing instruments with a comfortable feel and an aesthetic appeal. The combination of these qualities, along with its resistance to splitting and cracking, positions Red Ironbark as a premium material in the crafting of high-quality, artisanal tools and accessories.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cli\u003eCommon Name(s): Red Ironbark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific Name: Eucalyptus sideroxylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistribution: Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTree Size: 30-100 ft (9-30 m) tall, 1-3 ft (.3-1.0 m) trunk diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage Dried Weight: 77 lbs\/ft3 (1,235 kg\/m3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Gravity: .99, 1.24 (12% MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJanka Hardness: 3,366 lbf (14,970 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulus of Rupture: 23,370 lbf\/in2 (161.0 MPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElastic Modulus: 2,743,000 lbf\/in2 (18.92 GPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrushing Strength: 12,740 lbf\/in2 (87.9 MPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrinkage: Radial: 5.6%, Tangential: 8.6%, Volumetric: 13.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#374151\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eAs always, I select and hand cut each blank from larger stock.
