It is extremely rare to find and produce the size needed for acoustic back and side sets from desert ironwood.

With Raymond's two decades of experience as a luthier and Ashley's extensive knowledge of the Sonoran Desert, we are confident in our expertise. Our desert ironwood products are sustainably sourced from private lands, including our own. We collect materials from dead trees that do not act as nurse trees for saguaros and show clear signs of not providing shelter for wildlife.

Derrio Wood Company is committed to the preservation of Desert Ironwood. While it is not included in the CITES list of protected species, it is threatened by factors like urban expansion, groundwater depletion, drought, cattle grazing, and overharvesting in Mexico. Our products are legally and sustainably derived from fallen trees, some of which have laid unused for decades or even centuries. The remnants of desert ironwood can remain preserved for extraordinary durations due to their high density, somewhat toxic properties, and slow growth, enabling them to withstand the intense summer heat of the Sonoran Desert. Additionally, this wood is non-biodegradable, and insects typically avoid the heartwood.
