The species Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) is the hardest species we carry. Known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wood boring insects and fungi, this exotic hardwood is a great choice in both residential and commercial installations. Typically users who require an extremely durable floor or desire a dark floor choose Brazilian Walnut. We offer only one superior quality grade (clear grade), in both Prefinished and Unfinished formats and several sizes.
Brazilian Walnut from South America has a deep dark brown colored wood with exceptionally fine graining. It is one of the densest woods available, and the densest in our collection — at 3680 on the Janka hardness scale vs 1260 for Red Oak.

Our Mill in Brazil uses Sustainable Forestry Practices, which includes environmental and socially responsible forestry practices. After 70 years in the lumber industry, we value the land and practice sustainable forestry. Sustainable forestry means that the amount removed will not exceed the amount that will grow back between harvests.
