Default Re: Cuddy Door Help

Ipe doesn't need a finish at all. It will just weather to a silver gray. It doesn't rot even when submerged for long periods of time. It's a tough heavy wood and it is tough on tools!!! Google "IPE" wood. There are some good articles on it and where you can buy it. If I had to replace stringers on a boat, I would consider using it. It might increase the weight of the boat too much but it won't rot!!
