Tom, The Ipe rests comfortably at about 3600 on the Janka Scale.  There are only 4 wood harder!  I cut a lot of it from the large timbers taken from the Coney Island Boardwalk and trust me my sharpening bill goes way up when I cut a bunch of it, but it is simply georgous wood and worth the effort.

Thanks for the info, Fargobox!  I just finished reading about Ipe and I think I will steer clear of it.  I've never had any luck with scratch boxes made entirely of the harder woods!  Might make a great striker, though!
