Hi Randy, nice to see you posting. These are beautiful.I think that this might be what is called "desert ironwood", a species not closely related to hophornbeam. The burling, tiger stripes, and colors all are right.Desert Ironwood grows only in the Sonora Desert and southern Rockies, and most of the places that sell it have Arizona addresses.If I'm right about that, what you have there is Olneya tesota which is a species of legume much used for pistol grips and knife handles.It should be great for noters, nuts, picks and the like.
Makes nice looking nuts and picks too. Plus I use Ironwood on my half n half bone slides. I get mine from Az.
