Well allowing for the likelihood that at least some of the Ipe coming into this country almost certainly has forged FSC (forestry stewardship council) documents and is therefore at least possibly from that hotbed of controversy (to slash and burn or not to slash and burn), the amazon rainforest, I think it warrants discussion, not that Ipe is the only natural way to go (but it is for people who can afford it). And I think there are applications where composite is appropriate but saying this I don't want to imply that I wasn't besotted mutually or that I didn't call you a stupid synthetic loving bastard. I hope this helps to clear things up.
