Ipe, Tabebuia  Ipe

Picture
Very hard,  dense,  and durable.  Many consider it a decking material second to none.   As a decking wood, it has a lifespan of 60 plus years when exposed to salt water so it has a lot of durability.  Pre drilling is required, as is sealing  of any and all end grain.

Uses-  Overall, Ipe is a difficult wood to work, being extremely hard and dense, with high cutting resistance during sawing. Ipe also has a pronounced blunting effect on cutting edges. The wood generally planes smoothly, but the grain can tearout on interlocked areas. Also, Ipe can be difficult to glue properly, and surface preparation prior to gluing is recommended. Straight-grained wood turns well, though the natural powdery yellow deposits can sometimes interfere with polishing or finishing the wood.
