I am looking for a small quantity of tamarindo wood to build a stair railing. I live on Long Island, New York, but would order from anyone who would ship. There are apparently a number of woods called tamarindo – the one I am looking for is known botanically as Dialium guianense. Any thoughts?

You don’t complete your inner work before you do your outer work. Nor do you say, "Well, the hell with the inner work: I’ll go do the outer work because it’s so important and pressing." That’s not conscious either. The conscious thing is the simultaneous doing of both. "Ram Dass"

These guys probably have what you want. Up to 20 something inch wide planks. I saw them on Bob Vila and the company is incredible. They are in New Hampshire. Bring your wallet though, this stuff is pricey.
