canadian source for ipe T&G?

e2canoe | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I want to use T&G Ipe on my covered porch but can’t find a supplier.  Just got a call from a local yard (Adams and Kennedy) who said they can’t do it (their moulding machines can’t handle the hardness).

Does anyone know where I can find 3/4″x3″ or 3/4″x3-1/2″ T&G flooring IPE near Ottawa, Ontario CANADA?  Since it will be exposed to _some_ rain, I don’t really want any “microbevels”.

      Thanks!  They are 5 hours drive away.  I'm almost tempted to go visit them ;)
