My wife and I took one of our frequent "Check Out of the big city" trips this weekend and happened up on a furniture store located in Brenham, TX. They import all of their furniture from South America. They had several large dining room tables but the biggest was really big. The table had 2 benches with no backs style seating that ran the length of the table. The table was 100% Ipe, and the top was a single slab of wood. The table top was 20' long, and about 42" wide and about 4" thick. That was one huge hunk of wood. The table top was held up by 2 tree trunks that were about as wide as the table top. The store owner estimated that the table top alone was about 2,000 lbs.
