All of our ipe decking comes with a wax end sealer applied to the end grain, this prevents the ends of the boards from checking. The end grain sealant  is very easy to apply just brush it on with a paint brush and it will dry clear.  Any fresh cuts should be sealed with end grain sealer within 24 hours.
