I learned that you can buy Ipe with a precut kerf along the entire length of the board...but it costs about $.60 more per board foot. A price I would have happily paid to not have to biscuit cut each board at the joist.

I knew about the Ipe with kerf cut for the biscuits...but being a CSOB didn't want to spring for the extra coin/board foot..
I ripped the kerf on a few planks when I got out to some areas of the deck where production was key.... found that working with my bro.. one of us using the biscuit cutter.... we closed that deck quickly...
In hindsight it I should have sprang for the pre-kerfed Ipe..
The deck I built will outlast me...so I wont lose any sleep over the extra few hours of labor I invested
