Hi,

We are building a new deck from IPE. the railing for the deck will be redwood and next to it will be a redwood gate.
I would like to know if there are any recommendations to the type of stain and name of stain that would work well on redwood, so that it matches in some way to the IPE.

any thoughts?

thank you.

It is not possible to stain redwood to match the look of IPE when stained. You might be able to get it close but it will still be off. I would suggest getting some samples of the TWP and Armstrong and doing some tests.
