Need help experts
« on: August 07, 2010, 03:04:57 PM »
I got a piece of wood that has me befuddled. It is so similiar to mahogony that it wouldnt surprise me to find out it is indeed mahogony. BUT!!!!!! There is a lot of heavy grain in it, doesnt smell like mahogony, is a lot darker, and it just doesnt FEEL like any mahogony I have ever worked with.

I will try to get a picture of the end grain later. Leaning towards santos mahogoy. I have sapele and honduran mahogony in the shop right now, definitely not either of those. But I am 99% certain it is a mahogony
