Topic tags/keywords: mahogany

I received an early birthday present from a new friend up here in Cushman!
Quite a score really, now I have to figure out what to make of it.
Genuine Philippine Mahogany – 3 7/8” thick, 11 1/2” wide and 5’ long!

Oh yeah! Meet my 14 mo. old Lab/Pit Rocky!
He is a woodworker too! He can turn just about any wood into toothpicks! LOL
