I can't imagine that ipe is unavailable in most of North America. It's
certainly for sale at most lumber dealers near San Francisco.

Doesn't the Internet go everywhere? ;-)

Save the mahogany for the Goddard repro...

Well I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the state of New Mexico. I
could order online but jaysus, shipping and all on a couple of hundred bf of
Ipe would probably be unreasonable (although when compared with getting the
mahogany locally, it might be in line). I could ask a dealer to order it
in but their minimum is 5000 bf. No thanks.
Cheers,
