Ipe porch floor

We've decided to build the front porch floor with a hardwood called Ipe (ee-pay). The original plan was to use a recycled wood/plastic material like Trex or TimberTech. However, those materials don't really look very attractive, they do show wear and wear out, and when they do wear out you bury them in a landfill. Ipe is beautiful, strong, and very durable, and will probably outlast the porch structure.
