60 bdft: You can build quite a bit. Whatever it is, have fun and show some pictures. If you don’t want to make anything, I’ll offer to help Lew: He only live a few towns away.

Are you sure it is Honduras mahogany, My wood supplier told Me that it is endangered now and most is illeagaly harvested so they cannot get it.
Also it would be $20 + a BF.
They do have African $7, Phillipine $5.50.
If it is Honduras mahogany you did SCORE, and I would find a special project for it.
Nice Boat BigBob, I think thats a little more than 60 BF, let us see when She floats!!

You can donate it to me and I will build something out of it.

I love mahogany!

Definately the material for an 18th Century Americam piece of furniture. At least that’s what I do with my Mahogany.
