I have little to no knowledge on wood and woodworking. That's why I'm here. I got my hands on a piece of Desert Ironwood that I would like to use for a knife handle. I am worried since this wood is extremely hard.

  1. What precautions should I take before/while cutting it? (It's a pretty small piece and all I have to cut it straight is a table saw.)

  2. Since I would like to make my knife handle as thoughttough as possible. I wonder what I should use to treat the wood in order to protect it as much as possible while still keeping the beautiful grain that Ironwood has.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge and my bad English. :)
