0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Dynamite!:lol: Rod!~ Rod, Hah! Probably not too far from the truth. Bought a fair amount of ipe' 4 yrs. ago to re-skin my own deck. Talked with the distributor out of the Phila. area, Thompson Mahogany. 100 some odd year old company, that admittedly clear cut rain forest to get at the $ wood. Peasants were not far behind. Cleared the downed garbage wood by burning, and set about planting fields for cash crops. One problem. Ipe' does not burn. Good old American ingenuity. Now ipe' is the cat's meow!
