Update time... Finished the big remodel and getting ready to pull the trigger on deck materials.
So,,, Ipe I love.. Cost I don't love.
Was also shown a bamboo engineered product that looks really nice.. Samples I have are really good, nearly identical look as Ipe. Comes in 6' max lengths unfortunately. Couple of dollars less/ft than Ipe. Will take stain and weather similar.
