A contractor just finished constructing a trellis from 2x12 Ipe at a
new building next to mine on my campus. The foreman gave me all of his
scraps, some of which are 3 to 4 foot long. I got several hundred
pounds of boards and am still coveting the two extra intact boards (8
and 10 feet long) that are at the site.
Now I know that there are limitations to the projects I can make from
these small pieces but it was an easy decision to take this stuff home
especially when the foreman told me it was heading for the dumpster.
I've scanned several archives (in ths group) about Ipe but I have not
seen any comments about making boxes (routed dovetail joints, for
example) with it. Has anybody used Ipe for small table top projects?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
