I think most of the time, ironwood refers to hophornbeam, most of the time around here it does anyway:

HHB makes a fantastic warbow.  I still remember testing that first one Marc made about 10 years ago. I was able to test it at its peak and it was something else.

WillS:
Def. Not ipe, possibly hhb.  He has a YouTube video detailing it.

AndiE:
Hi

Today I made 10 elder staves and they all look like they will be nice warbows someday.  ;)
They are all 76-86". With the 86" I think I will try a real heavy one.

Kind regards
Andi
