Tabebuia spp.
Ipe Lapacho (Tabebuia spp.) is a hard, wear-resistant wood, with a Janka hardness of 1050 lbf (4670 N) and a density of about 0.92 g/cm³. It originates from south america.
With radial shrinkage of 6.6% and tangential shrinkage of 8% (a T/R ratio of 1.21), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 25%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
