I think Ipe and Brazilian Walnut are the same thing. I have not heard of Epe.

SS Calls

Ipe Pronunciation: Eee-pay  Rickey is right, Ipe is Brazilian Walnut. Used a lot in hardwood flooring.

Thanks guys Fred Cox at grand slam turkey calls pronounced it epe that's why I asked.

I will say it makes a great striker. I have one from Fred Cox and one from West Augusta and they are both dandies.

DOES THIS WOOD MAKE A GOOD POT CALL ?

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

It's known as Brazilian Ironwood....it's used as outdoor decking. I got some when it first became available and found it useless for a turkey call. It's too hard to really resonate sound.

I replaced all the wood on my Weber gas grill with it...holds up great in the weather.

It's hard...Like real hard and it don't rot at least for the first 20 years.  I've got a striker Gary Joffrion made me, and it's one of my favorites but other than that I don't know how it would work.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I, too, have found it makes a very nice striker! Also, I know a lot of guys use it for box call lids...
