IPE
« on: October 21, 2019, 08:13:03 AM »
Throwing a feeler out there.
Anyone ever experiment with IPE for wood shafting.
I feel it would be good considering it is very strong, and holds up well in wet conditions. You should also be able to make higher spines in 5/16” diameter....

I am looking for anyone that has tried and can source.

I ran a few years ago and found them very heavy and high in spine at 5/16.

I ran a bunch to see and found what Mike found, very heavy mass weight even at 5/16" Spine varied from board to board just like most other woods.
I do like to foot Spruce and cedar with Ipe however.

I made my deck out of ipe about 20 yrs ago.  Still looks brand new.  VERY HARD.  Has arcenic in it.  Wear a mask if u work with it.
