Try flooring or decking specialty companies. Maybe your local lumber yard.

The local lumber store here in San Jose used to have a huge selection of Ipe, especially in 16-20 foot lengths and now has none in stock.  I'm  guessing the source is drying up as the mature trees get logged out.  Has any body else been noticing the same thing?   Ron

Once I started searching for "Ipe decking" I found several relatively local suppliers.
