This beautiful wood is extremely fine grained and dense, leading to its amazing strength and rot resistance. The wood is known by a variety of names, including Brazilian walnut and ironwood. Ipe is so dense that it is extremely difficult to cut. Advanced cutting technologies have popularized its use in recent years.
