I've never had a piece of ironwood with ANY natural oil..

IIRC, there are about 70+ different species referred to as ironwood. So
a bit of variation in how "ironwood" looks, behaves, is or is not oily,
etc is to be expected, depending on what "ironwood" you are working with.

Sorry.. I wasn't being elitist enough.. Sonora Desert Ironwood, as opposed to
stuff people find that's hard and name "Ironwood"..
Hell, I've even heard of Lignum Vitae referred to as "ironwood" several times..
