"Despite the benefits of Ipe, there are some problems that homeowners should look at before buying. The biggest problem is that Ipe is a naturally hard and durable type of wood. It's nearly impossible to drill holes in the wood after placing it on the deck, which is why most builders will drill holes with specialized tools before placing the wood on the deck and securing it in place."
What...is it harder than aluminum ?? I find that statement hard to believe, unless they are thinking of wood spade drills. And what is the mysterious "specialized tool"...a drill press ?
