    Hi all. I am seeking a small amount of 2 specific timbers.
    1) Lignum Vitae, for a propellor shaft bearing on a boat.
    2) Ironwood. I know Lignum Vitae is one of the multitude of wood types that can be referred to as Ironwood, but I am interested in replica medieval weaponry. AN Ironwood was used to make a weapon known as a Halberd. Very hard, black and dense(sinks in water), but not Ebony
