Shicks,

If the wood is ipe, you would know it. Another name for it is ironwood, but a better name would be leadwood. It is a dark red and has attractive grain. It is relatively indestructable. Won't burn, float, or rot. I am now thinking of making a bow pulpit out of ipe and have some under seat storage made of MDO plywood with ipe trim on the drawing board. Probably won't be this season because of a leaky 60 gallon fuel tank and some critical regular engine maintenance that I put off last year.
