Ipe wood products are hard, strong, and naturally resistant to rot, abrasion, and weathering. It is almost twice as dense as most woods and up to five times harder. It has a dark brown color, like a Mahogany, so it not only lasts a long time, but has the beauty of a fine interior wood. Through time, and without oiling, you'll notice Ipe wood fade to a silver tone. With oil, you'll be able to preserve the rich brown tones that Ipe is known for.
Color and Grain Variation is typical of materials created by nature and recognized as part of the beauty that sets natural products apart from manufactured products. This is particularly true where wood products are concerned, though some species have more or less grain and color variation than others. This should always be considered when looking at wood samples as wood samples are not sorted for color
Some consistency in color can be achieved through either finishing wood with pigmented penetrating oil based sealer or by allowing wood to weather or grey out naturally. Grain, density and moisture content can all affect finishing. Every piece of wood will accept a finish differently, even pieces from the same tree. Sampling finishes is always recommended prior to full application. Warranties if available are the responsibility of the finish manufacturer.
