This rustic hand-carved dominos set for adults and kids has been crafted from the wood of an "ironwood" tree, known in Spanish as palo fierro (iron stick). It features a beautiful grain and, as the name implies, is very dense. Ironwood is one of the heaviest woods native to the United States and Mexico, second only to Leadwood of Florida. The trees grow at an altitude of 2,500 feet above sea level in the deserts and coastal regions of Arizona, California, Baja California, and Sonora, Mexico. This species of ironwood is "olneya tesota,” and is the only species of this genus found in the Pacific Southwest. Live ironwood trees are not harvested for carving. Instead, fallen ironwood is collected after drying for several years to be used by the carvers. The Seri Indians originated this handcrafted domino game in 1961. Today, the Seri Indians, along with other talented artisans in Northern Sonora, Mexico, are masters in creating these beautiful carvings.
