We strive to use only sustainable forest resources that cause negligible disturbance to the environment.
As logs are sawn into lumber, dried and graded, experienced and skilled people at Dwight Lewis Lumber are in place to ensure that waste is minimized while resources are maximized. Lewis Lumber Products then sorts and mills the fine wood guaranteeing only quality products reach your door. From the experienced and helpful sales staff to the knowledgeable and quality conscious production crew we strive for the highest standard of excellence.
A South American hardwood, IPE (Tabebuia serratifolia) is one of hardest woods on Earth. Because of its hardness and ability to resist decay, IPE is superior for decks, patios, piers, boat docks, outdoor furniture, walkways and poolside benches. IPE requires no chemical preservatives to keep it smooth and splinter free and it is naturally safe.
With a durability rating of 25-plus years by the U.S. Forest Products Lab, IPE is competitively priced and comparable to cedar, redwood or composite decking.
Wood Selection Tips
Not sure which grade to select when shopping for wood?
- Grade A: FAS / F1F, Select and Better: This is the highest quality of hardwood lumber and will yield long, clear pieces with very little waste.
- Grade B, #1, Common: A great value for the woodworker looking to get several long, wide cuts, or longer narrow cuts in a board.
- Grade C, #2, Common: This grade of lumber is good for the woodworker looking to use the natural characteristics (knots, worm holes, discoloration) or looking for 1-foot or 2-foot cuts. Also good for small crafts and interior furniture parts.
