The restoration studio
Explore one deck through surface conditions, inspection and two different appearance goals.
What am I looking at?
Move from the full deck to a board and surface detail. Compare visual clues without treating them as a diagnosis.
A gray deck can still be your goal.
Compare naturally weathered, dirty and cleaned-gray Ipe appearance scenarios.
Restore color. Respect the sequence.
Explore assessment, cleaning, drying, preparation and optional finishing on the same reference deck.
