HEIGHT/WEIGHT
Trees routinely grow to 150 feet, and can reach 200 feet, with
trunk diameters of 6 feet and
boles clear to 60 feet or more. Weight varies between 60 and 75
pounds per cubic foot with
a specific gravity of 1.08.
PROPERTIES
Usually air dries rapidly with
very slight checking or warping. Material can be difficult to
work and difficult to saw. Hardness of material can cause a
blunting effect to cutting edges. High quality carbide and
diamond tipped blades are recommended as well as pre-drilling
when surface fastening. Machining material generates a fine,
yellow dust that may cause breathing problems and dermatitis.
Ipe is highly resistant to all insect and fungal attacks.
