IPE is pronounced eeee Pay as I recall. The oily waxy ends are treated that way to increase drying time and to reduce the wood from checking or cracking due to drying too fast. NIce box of wood! I agree the price isnt too bad. What are the dimensions of what you got? cool video . OOOOOH and beware of smelling Zebra wood, looks amazing, smells like someone's dog got in and did a doo doo in your shop. I'm serious. check out a pen blank next time your at a rockler or a woodcraft store LOL
the arches in the grain are cathedrals and the light marks that resemble stretch marks are called medulary rays. very beautiful. you see alot of them in oak pieces.
Thank you for this video. I have been thinking about buying some wood from amazon. I think I will try it out from this seller. The wood looks beautiful. Did you end up making anything with it? How did it turn out? Thank you Charles
I loved the wood I made some smaller cutting boards, I made some tic tac tow boards and even made some wooden knives. I love learning about the different types of wood and techniques

Thank you so much.
Ipe is very hard, rot resistant. Nice box of wood.
I never use a jointer. Wine glass holders would be nice with these species. Judging from size that would probably be a nice project for ya.
Thank you for the idea! I seem to be hoarding small pieces of pretty wood so that idea would be perfect!
Take care with greenheart. Splinters can become septic. Otherwise-good deal for the price.
Thank you for the advice. I also starting cutting these exotics outside and wearing a mask.

Thank you for letting me know. I will purchase a box and see what I get.
What are the dimensions?
How thick were the pieces?
Hi there! They are 3\4 of an inch thick. Thank you so much for watching!
IPE is pronounced I PA with a long A
Had to stop watching, her hands were making me sick.
Amazonia não e um pais e sim Brasil
You should know your woods before you put yourself out there.😅
