    Got this wood from a friend in Virginia. It was about 4’ x 2’. Several pieces tongue and groove joint. I was told it was ironwood, this piece weighs 3 pounds. It’s 16” x 3 1/2” x 1 1/2”. Really splintery (is that a word?). I did see some ironwood on the internet called cinnamon ironwood. Any ideas?

    I would guess Ipe, have a deck made out of it. One of my customers built it, pretty sure its also called ironwood. Eats saw blades... If left outside uncoated it will turn grey, have to resand and coat mine again.
