The question this week was about using a router on the edge of Ipé. Specifically, our customer wants to use a router on the top railing to cut a fancy design. I checked with the millworks guys and they confirmed using a Router is no problem at all. They told me it is easier than Pine as the Brazilian woods are so dry they do not clog up the router bits. I told them specifically the customer would be using a hand held router. Again they said no problem. While Ipé is hard, it is still easy to work with. If you want to do some router work on Ipé, Jatoba, or any of the hardwoods we sell you should be pleased with the results. For information on buying Brazilian Decking go to www.abswood.com
