Brazilian Ipe wood from Coney Island Boardwalk

December 29th, 2008

The famous Coney Island Pier has long been in need of repair.  Recently the City approved plans to replace the original pier and boardwalk. The material used for this project was a Brazilian hardwood called Ipe – a unique durable rain forest wood perfect for decking and outdoor use.  The city was glad to see the pier salvaged and put to green use. It is now available for sale reworked or in its original condition with its natural ocean-weathered gray patina. It is available as decking, in an outdoor furniture line or as unusual table tops. You can have a piece of New York City history right in your home with the purchase of one of our unique altered antiques… straight from the Coney Island Boardwalk.

   How are you selling the Brazillian Ipe for decking? How much would it cost per linear (sqare?) foot is it suitable to be used as decking material today? How long and wide are the pieces?

   Thank you, e schwam
