I've been enjoying a channel called Shoyan Japanese Carpenter. Lots of power tools but also plenty of hand tool work as well. Very interesting to see their different approach to constructing and trimming out a house.

A number of trees are called ironwood.
Here in Eastern United States we have two small trees that are sometimes called ironwood
1) Hophornbeam, Ostrya virginiana, with fine brown peely bark.
2) Hornbeam, Carpinus caroliniana, with smooth gray bark that is wavy like muscles, hence "musclewood" .
Both are in the Birch family
Thank you Warren, I need to look those trees over closely with that bark description in mind and again when the leaves are on.
