IF YOU ARE READING THIS, IT MEANS I HAVE STOCK.
I have done several decks with it, but the down side is the lengths I have are 66" and under, so no long runs. On the plus though, you don't have to fight those long warped boards. Widths vary from 4" to over 15". Most of it is 6"-8". 4"-6" is best for decks. Wider boards hold moisture both underneath and on the surface, so for decks it is best to rip to widths under 6". Lengths seem generally supplied so that the user can trim them to the nearest foot as any end-grain cracking is mostly confined to 2" from an end. A great deal of the stock has no end-grain cracking and full length is often usable.
About 1/4 to 1/3 of what I have is rough and still on pallets. These are mostly 40" lengths. Rough thickness is mostly 1" to 1-1/4". Some may be thicker. Mill tag states 4/4 (1"). I have used it as-is for planter beds, fence, and a neighbor used some for a boardwalk. Rough stock holds oil finish best. The advantage of stock this thick is also the rigidity. You don't need a joist every 12". You don't have to worry about soil weight bending the boards used for planters. You can build a walkway with just two joists.
All the longer stock has been planed to 7/8", straight-lined and ripped to the nearest 1/2" (sizes: 3-1/2, 4, 4-1/2, etc.).
Projects I have used this on:
Decks, fences, planters, trailer decks, balusters, siding, ceiling, stairs, wainscot, furniture.
Ipe is fire resistant and has various approvals for architectural applications.
PICTURE NOTES:
The two boards that look wet were first wiped with alcohol. Wet portions were then coated with Tung oil.
Oil finishes on exterior applications are recommended yearly.
Fence was constructed from rough stock. Oil was supplied about 3 years ago. Rough stock holds finish very well. Great for raised beds, fences, decks. Lightly sanded makes a nice rustic finish and is safer from splinters where contact is expected.
Planters were constructed from surfaced boards 1 year ago. Oil was applied 1 year ago.
You can text with questions.
Text works best. You can call or email too. If I don't get back to you it means I didn't get your text. That sometimes happens if I'm not at home.
