Q: The Country Club wants a bench for the golf course, so I suggested ipe. They want an oil finish like a varnish, but I just found out you can’t use that on Ipe.
A: There is no reason you can’t use an exterior oil varnish on ipe, though to be honest, many people prefer the regular but easier maintenance of a penetrating finish on exterior furniture. Still, it is a matter of choice, and either choice is open to you when using ipe.
Gentle reminder: A modest donation to this finishing blog can keep it going to help others. Thanks!
