I’m planning to remake the posts on a house that we close on Tuesday and would like some opinions about exterior wood choices with a lock miter.

I’m replacing these and planning on going modern
I originally thought ipe, but I’m also thinking mahogany after seeing the outdoor table post this morning. Any other suggestions for exterior dark wood? I’m after a darker wood, not something light. I plan to epoxy the lock miter to help seal the edges of the boards and hopefully keep the miters tight.
Another reference photo and another project that will happen with miter corners:
(I also plan to remove the ridiculous shutters and redo the planters, stairs and add landscaping.)
