DARN SPELL CHECK WENT FER "WHO HAS SAM" INSTEAD OF "WHO HAS SOME"
I still have a locust fence post..it's rustic but it ain't iron wood. By iron wood, which tree are you referencing?

Probly will work. Photos please.
She showed me a photo of an old fence post turning on lathe into a weed pot. Looked like Iron wood from out west.
Sides were worn & grey. Wood was orangie color
That should be Osage orange.
Let me try to excavate George later this week. Don't hesitate to remind me, I should be in and out of that storage all weekend working on putting a tile shower in the main bathroom

About 3 / 4 weeks ago I cut down an Ironwood (Eastern Hop Hornbeam) fence post. It had a tree top attached. The base had rotted off and was leaning toward a driveway. So before it became an issue, I addressed it. When cleaning the stove, found clear evidence of such.
here is George. He appears to be black locust. Around 3.5 to 4.5 diameter depending where you measure. Around 24 inches long but I doubt more than 18 inches are stable enough to cut a weed pot from.
this is a short stack of chestnut rail. But swmbo claimed it already...I did find another locust in another shed but all you can see is a few inches sticking up over some salvaged oak doors. So it doesn't exist ( no pictures)
Any of those woods that react under blacklight just add to the finished product "coolness".
The price would be 5 plus shipping. I would recommend cutting to fit the lfrb for USPS. I have a 30 minute ride to the nearest ups hub that will do flat rate shipping. I ship with a cash pay not a digital shipping account so I am more limited on shipping options.

Thank you for replying. She wants some more like this...
3" to 4"ish by 10"to 12" tall
Ok. No problem. You may also look for split rail fences being dismantled.
Old eastern red cedar fence posts make good vases. Here is a small one from a fence post
. I added the original staple and barb wire to it.
