A good friend of mine has a dock building business and they use alot of ipe on high end projects, meaning peeps w/ the big $$ want the ipe decks. "ipe" rhymes with 'he pay' and that's been a joke between us- 'Ipe', cause 'he pay' alot for it". I have access to plenty of ipe scraps from my dock bro but don't have a real need for it. When I say scraps I mean like 5/4 x 2 feet. not much for me to do with that--it's ridiculously hard to carve too. They leave it natural (unfinished) on the decking/docks. It looks awesome though when it's wet or when it has a nice spar/marine/poly finish on it. Don't know how convenient it would be for me to send you scraps but PM me if your interested. I've turned down alot of scraps I've been offered.
