Ipe Iron Wood & Honduras Mahongany Wood

Ipe Iron Wood, the clear choice for your Wood SportsMate. Ipe is an incredibly durable Brazilian Hardwood rated by the U.S. Forest Lab for 25 years plus. Naturally resistant to fire, insects, moisture, and movement, this air or kiln dried hardwood takes a backseat to no wood. Clear grade only, no knots, no sapwood, no maintenance, none.

Ipe Iron Woods are tough! Their top rating for durability has been proved again and again in demanding commercial applications - from Dinner Key Marina in Miami, to the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk.

Ipe requires no coatings or treatments for durability…ever.

This wood is so tough you have to drill a pilot hole in order to screw a stainless steel screw into it and you can actually drill and tap it to receive a threaded bolt, just like a piece of metal. It has twice the density and durability as Maple or Oak and three times that of Red Oak. The density of Ipe minimizes the ability of fungus and mold to grow on it, making it the best choice for using food products. The only problem you will have with this Ipe SportsMate, is that if you drop it on your toe you'll be more careful the next time and if you drop it into the lake its going to sink so don't try to use it as a float. Ipe has a class A fire rating, which means it will burn about as well as a piece of concrete or steel. You can spill anything on its surface or place a boiling hot pot on your Ipe Iron Wood SportsMate, and not worry about hurting it. The SportsMates are hand crafted by a Master Carpenter, sanded to a smooth beautiful surface and then a clear finish of Tung Oil or Teak Oil has been hand rubbed on to preserve the natural color, which ranges from a rich russet to a classic reddish brown. Left unsealed, the wood will weather to a handsome silver patina.

Honduras Mahogany Wood, the second choice for your Wood SportsMate. A very durable hardwood rated by the US Forest Lab for 50 years. Resistant to fire, insects, moisture and movement, this air or kiln dried hardwood, in our opinion, makes a better choice than the Rock Maple commonly used on butcher blocks. Selected for its lighter weight but high strength properties and attractive ring figures on plain sawn surfaces. Maintenance on this wood is minimum.

Caution: The TailGate SportsMate may slip or slide if pushed or bumped. To prevent injury, do not step or stand on the board. To prevent sliding it is recommended that the IncrediGrip Mat be placed under your SportsMate. Do not leave the SportsMate in the bed of a moving truck unless secured. The company TailGate SportsMate will not accept liability for any injury or damage caused by this product if used in any manner other than the (safe) intended or suggested use.
