Woodworking Ironwood


Ipe (aka Brazilian walnut, Amapa, Cortez) decking commonly referred to as ironwood has gained popularity as consumers have educated themselves online about the properties and characteristics of this exotic hardwood. Ipe is a natural rich looking wood and is extremely dense as well. It is 3x’s as hard as oak with a Class A fire resistance (same rating as concrete and steel). Ipe wood is naturally resistant to mold and fungus. Don’t worry about pesticides as Ipe is rot and insect resistant as well.

Ipe decks are installed all over the world by the most discriminating consumers not only for its aesthetic value but the maintenance free care. High end and custom designed homes are specifically specifying ipe decking because it is the gem of hardwoods in all aspects from the deep rich tones to the tight dense grains to the natural beauty only nature can produce. High end clients are familiar with this knowledge, as it has been tested time and again that we can not reproduce what nature has created and we should not continue to try.

Composite decks have tried to reproduce the look and the quality but it still looks like plastic wood with all the downfalls that come with composite products, molding issues, delamination and staining to name a few. There are other woods that are used for decking but the fact remains that the wood for longevity and strength to use for outdoor applications should be ipe. This conclusion is based on research and time. The fact that ipe decking has been specified in projects such as the South Beach boardwalk in Miami Beach, Las Vegas Resort Hotel and the Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco alone lends creditability to its longevity.

The Brazilian hardwood color can vary from a yellowish brown to reddish brown in medium tones to almost black shade and slowly patinas to a silver-ish grey tone unless maintained with ipe deck oil. Ipe decking comes in different width ranging from ¾”to 1.5″average with length from 6-20′ average. Special order sizes are available along with accessories such as handrail system, post caps and plugs.

When considering the longevity of your decking and replacement costs not to mention the down time involved, many consumers realize the value of Ipe. Who want to replace their deck in 10 years or less? Ipe has a lifetime of 40 plus years with no maintenance and over 100 years with one application of Ipe Oil. It is the natural choice.
