Crotch Slab

[Jonkou]

This one goes out local only, it’s too heavy to ship. Believe it’s Ipe, dry, ready to use with some real nice crotch figure. Got a bad reaction to the fine dust similar to what I get from rosewoods when turning a cutoff of it last week so want it gone. Will trade for unique wood to make 6 x 6 x 2.25” blanks from.

John,
If the sawdust from this wood is yellow when you cut it, it's ipe. If not, it's something else. We get a lot of ipe in S. Fla., where it's used a lot for decks and docks.

There are many different species called ipe so it’s not hard to imagine that some of them don’t have corresponding features.
