Working and finishing Ipe (Brazilian Walnut)
Extremely hard and dense, roughly two to three times the hardness of White Oak, with a strong dulling effect on cutters; pre-drilling is mandatory for any fasteners. Its density and natural durability make it a premier exterior decking wood.
A UV-inhibiting exterior oil helps it hold colour longer outdoors, though it will still grey over time if left unfinished, which is normal and does not affect the wood's structural durability.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
