Good source for ipe wood?

We’re building a small deck in our back yard.

Can someone recommend a good source for ipe wood?

We are in Greenpoint, near queens. 

Thanks

not sure if my first answer was posted, but check out Forest Stewardship Council (http://www.fscus.org/) for sources of sustainably harvested ipe – much of it is not grown and harvested in a sustainable fashion.

If you are in GPoint, maybe Dykes in LIC would be closer.  But call them first.
