Brazilian Walnut / Ipe

Hardness: 10 Stability: Average/Poor

Brazilian Walnut is also known as Ipe or Ironwood. Often used for exterior decking because of its hardness and resilience to moisture, Brazilian Walnut makes an incredibly durable wood floor. Brazilian Walnut is about as hard as wood gets, so it really will take pretty much all you can throw at it. When first milled it tends to have many colors, from mid brown to yellow and even a hint of green. All of these quickly mute down, and after time will reach a rich mid brown.
