Why Choose Ipe?
This is one strong, tough, and resilient wood. Ipe's naturally durable and weather resistant so it's fantastic in outdoor projects. Plus, the rich dark color makes great accents and finishes with gorgeous hints of reddish brown tones - Ipe wood is unlike anything else.
Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.
| Thickness | 1/2" (≈ 1/2" approx) |
| Width | 3" |
| Length | 6" |
| Grade | Samples are milled on all sides, cut square and sanded; wood is a product of nature with inconsistencies from piece to piece. Use species samples as a guide, not a perfect representation. |

Great looking wood
The wood looks great, and worked very well for my project, wooden rings. The sample size was also the perfect size for this project, as I could only find it sold by the foot elsewhere. It also arrived so promptly that I was confused when it showed up!
