Ipe 4/4 Lumber
I had never had the opportunity to work with "Ipe" species of wood, the description of how easily this woodworks is right on!- I hope to find more uses for this very "Friendly" species, it cuts as well as pine, it doesn't dull my router bits, very nice to finish (I just oiled , shellac, grain filled and top coat with Polyurethane) , both or my boards were straight, flat and nice grain- Thanks WWS, to all the folks who keep "The Very Best Wood" shipping - I won't change my shopping online
Familiarity: I've used it in a LOT of projects

beautiful wood.
This was my first time with ipe...you definitely want to use ppe with this stuff. It works well and makes a very good longbow.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice

Exactly as advertised
The product is exactly as advertised. Vendor used some thought in sorting and cutting for shipment and maximized the yield from the stick I bought from them.

Fantastic wood quality, service, cost and delivery time!!!!!
The sizes were all very workable with lots of useable widths and lengths. I have purchased nearly 1,000 board feet of nearly 30 different species from Woodworkers source and I have NEVER been disappointed with even 1 board foot. Don't be worried Canadian woodworkers, these people know what they are doing with across-the-board shipping. I have received wood delivered to my doorstep cheaper than I can buy for in Regina (shipping included). Thanks Craig & Robert

beautiful and strong
I used a board of this to make a longbow. I asked for a piece of straight grain Ipe with no knots and that's exactly what I got. This is by far the most beautiful bow I've made. And it the best shooting one as well. I couldn't be happier.

Received my order and the quality was even better than I'd hoped. Excellent wood, very well packaged. I'll be doing a lot more business here.

Great wood
Quick shipping, perfect lumber. 100% usable. I use this to make bows. Ipe is a superb bow wood, particularly when combined with bamboo backing. These guys really jump through hoops to provide me with the size specifications I need. Highly recommend them to everyone.

We have been pleased with the Ipe wood thus far into this project. It is truly a "hard wood" as he has gone through several sanding belts as he has shaped it how he needs it for our boat project!

Incredible
What a cool wood. I was afraid of it at first, being so hard and dense. It's super heavy. But damn it's a pleasure to work. Rips and cross cuts beautifully and without trouble. So long as I'm using the proper blade. Turns *nearly* black when I finish it with an oil. Lacquer looks pretty good too.
