Greene inspired Night Stand #2: Storm pause

Can you still get Honduran mahogany there, or is it African?

Good luck on your project.

It’s Honduran and about $9 a bd ft for 4/4 and $10 for 8/4 (which doesn’t make sense 2 me cuz there is less milling)

As I understand it the thicker chunks usually come from older trees and thus cost more per board foot.

One of my suppliers told me the reason for the higher prices has to do with the time required in the kiln to get it dry,the thicker pieces, I mean..

Yup, just being a smart aleck. I feel the same way about software. How can something you can’t even touch cost so much?

Houduran is nice if you can still find it. Very stable with basically no tension in the wood.
I remember getting it for $4+ a bf.

African tends to have more tension in the wood and therefore more reactive when cut.
