I was considering Ipe, but am a little worried about (from what I hear)
how
hard it is to work with. Do you have some experience?

Ipe will dull cheap tools. It does machine well and needs no finish for
typical outdoor use. It does sand or scrap smooth (think hammer handles).

I made an garden bench for an old neighbor, she left it in the garden for
over 10 years. Never touched it other than sitting.

A google search on its properties will give you more info.
