The Ironwood Carvings Shop:
These artistic sculptures have been hand carved from
the wood of an "Ironwood" tree, it's name in Spanish is palo fierro
(iron stick). It has a beautiful grain and as it's name implies, is
very dense. Next to the Leadwood of Florida, Ironwood is the heaviest
wood native to the United States and Mexico. The trees grow at an altitude
of 2,500 feet above sea level in the deserts and coastal regions of
Arizona, California, Baja California and Sonora Mexico. This species
of Ironwood is "Olneya tesota; and is the only species of this genus
found in the Pacific Southwest. Live ironwood trees are not harvested
for carving. Fallen ironwood is collected, after drying for several
years to be used by the carvers.
The Seri Indians originated this handcraft in 1961. Today the Seri Indians,
as well as other talented artisans in northern Sonora, Mexico are masters
in creating these beautiful carvings. Talented artisans have carved
these pieces for you, each with varying shape, color and grain, making
each piece unique. There may be natural imperfections in the wood, which
also adds to the unique character of each piece.
