Can't say for sure what this wood was, just going by what my buddy said and the fact that the stuff was hard and dense as anything I'd ever seen. This stuff even looked like iron once you got cut through it. The piece that burned so long was approximately 16 in. long and 10 in. or so across and really heavy for the size. If I remember right it had a loose kinda "scaley" bark on it. This was at about 10,000 ft or so and cold and snow every year so may noot have been true ironwood. Would definitely been a nice wood if you had the tools and knowledge to work it.
