Autumn Orchid Series #2
American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana) is found throughout most of the Eastern United States and southernmost Eastern Canada. Sometimes referred to as “Ironwood,” though it is one of the few hardwoods bearing this name that do not actually sink in water. The name is instead given for the wood’s toughness and resistance to wear and abrasion. Because of its small size, Hophornbeam is seldom harvested commercially. Likely to be limited in availability, even within its natural range.
Features
o Sterling Silver Ear Wire- Purity: .925
o Wood dimension: 1.75" x .33"
