My wife and I went to a quaint, quiet town in Mexico called Morelos on a mission trip back in January.
On the way back across the border at Peidras Negras (ie, Eagle Pass Texas once you cross), we bought a few "carvings" for some friends back home.
I recognized the wood immediately as Desert Ironwood. I asked the woman in my broken spanish what the wood was called, and she said "Palo Fiero". Just in case anyone had heard of palo fiero, yes, it's DI.
Palo Fiero just means "fierce wood". That's the truth-- fierce as anything I've ever met on my allergies and sinuses. Even with a mask.
I also noticed there a handful of music "sticks" made of cocobolo- I forget what they call the sticks but you just clonk them together and the coco makes a very nice sound if you have rhythm. I don't[B)]
