Ironwood Salt and Pepper Shaker

Salt and pepper shaker made from ironwood. I know some of you are going to say ironwood is a dark wood, and yes ironwood from the southwest U.S. is dark and called desert ironwood, but on the east side of the U.S. we have a tree we call ironwood that is a lighter wood. The real name of this tree is hophornbeam. This ironwood tree was blocking water flow into a drain tile so I received it and made some salt and pepper shakers from it.
