Mad Max:
It's defiantly heavy and killed a new bandsaw blade in about 8" of trying to cut lams.

Hamish:
Bandsaw blades getting blunt. Yep, I remember doing that. A regular high carbon steel blade is no good for dense tropicals. You need a bi metal/high speed steel, or even a TCT saw blade if you have a large enough bandsaw.

Pappy:
Never worked with Ipe much but I know from the Classic when the guys are cutting tip over lays from it that it will toast a blade very quick, I try and get them to use the saw I use to cut out my knife blades. :) That stuff is tough for sure.  :)

Mad Max:
I got the board (1" x 4" x 9 foot) at the classic 4 years or so ago. I cut it in 3 sections to get it back home, it was rounded over on the 4 corners for decking.
I don't know how to post pictures from imgur any more, just the link.  >:(

Hopefully it will work fine.



All this also, boards on the left

Mark,

In imgur you click on the picture you want, then click on the button with three dots in the top right and click on 'get share links'. This will open a pop down that has link options. I use the BBCode link to post in forums, you just click that link and then paste it in your post.
