Deck boards

Hello, very cool looking deck and the subtle "fish bone" design looks great. Nice work. I wanted to ask about the boards used. In your title it says Cumaru deck. I'm currently thinking about using cumaru for my deck in New Jersey, but these pics don't look like they were taken immediately after installing. How weathered are these? And it also looks like new boards were added to replace some others. Was there defects (mold, checking, warping) in those boards that needed to be replaced? Any info on this is much appreciated. Thank you.

    Yes there was some checking in the materials. The checking wasn't really very noticeable but was a valued client so we replaced without question.It silvers out quickly in the sun. He is still happy with the product. All has to be predrilled for stainless fasteners. We still get molds in materials because of cedar trees and moisture content in the area. Suggest using RMR-86. Rapid mold remover. Works great. Hope this helps.
