Mahogany lumber shorts and mahogany bar/workbench tops -- CHEAP

Bill,

I just got home with my haul of Mahogany. Now all I’ve got to do is find some room in the shop. Thanks a lot for such a great deal!

I hope everything goes very well with your upcoming surgery.

Hi Brad,

Glad you made the trip home safely. It was nice visiting with you and I want to wish you good luck on any projects you undertake with your stash of mahogany. They will all be special because you now know the history of the wood that you are working with. Thanks again and I appreciate your kind words for my upcoming surgery. I should know a date this week. Maybe #6 will be the charm….. after all, they do call it the “practice” of medicine. :)

Well, I live in GR Michigan, and I don’t know if I could justify the trip right now. Boy, what great opportunity though! Do you have any 12/4 per chance?

-- I hope the volume of shavings one creates is directly related to the probablility of one's success, cuz if so I've got it made!!

Most of the larger pieces are glue-ups and a few range up to 32/4. Yup, 8”x8” x up to 60” long…a massive piece of mahogany. .I don’t want seem pushy but if you have any desire to stock up on mahogany shorts at a ridiculous price, now is certainly the time to do it. Anyone you could share gas expenses with ? We probably could FILL an average size pickup with mahogany for $150. Possibly even less. About 3 of these tote boxes would stuff a large cars trunk. Naturally I’m just guessing here but the $5 tote box is LARGE and I need these pieces gone pronto, hence the LARGE box for the small price. As sinful as it may be, it is even being sold as “firewood”.....; again, it just must go before I am unable to take care of it.

Also, I’m down to about 12 solid mahogany tops (at $25 ea) after the weekend sale.(Approx 17” x 48” x 2”) Additionally, I Still have two 8’+ x 17” x 2” tops left. These are $50ea or $75 for the pair. These (as are the others) solid FJ laminated mahogany tops, (not veneer). They are HEAVY and FLAT.

I should know by later this week a date for the next episode of “The Practice of Medicine”. :)

Thanks

Bill

Note: This material is all that remains of 3 pole barns that I had full of mahogany. I can honestly say that I have not had one unhappy customer in the last two years. The only complaint I have constantly heard was that they wished they had left the wife at home so they could fill her seat space with more mahogany….... :)

You do know that those tops would make great guitar blanks.

-- Keith, Bolingbrook, Illinois. How did you do that? I just started with a bunch of wood and cut away anything that's not part of the finished piece...

Hi Keith,

I had excellent luck selling the really old mahogany (planks up to 22” wide) and most of it did in fact go to guitar builders however my experience is that most want to do their own glue ups. I’m sure there is a reason such as a glue preference, etc….

Still no news on the surgery date.

Thanks for the reply.

Bill
