Ironwood branches, or otherwise known as GG branches are frequently used in competitive games such as in CAL league matches. Consider the cost efficiency of the item, for the price of 57 gp you are getting +1 to all stats, since a hero has 6 inventory slots anyway, you might as well use up around 5 slots at all times.

Let us consider a skill available globally to all heroes of dota: Attribute Bonuses. For the cost of 1 skill point the hero effectively receives +2 to all stats, which is ALSO achievable using 2 ironwood branches. For 114 gp, you are effectively taking 1 lvl of attribute bonus at all times, and since the ironwood branches are dirt cheap, you can sell them off or give them a good whack to destroy them when you do not need them anymore.

Ironwood branches are also used in forming the headdress of rejuvenation and nathrezim buckler (these 2 items can be further combined into mekansm)
