Picked up a great piece of African Mahogany at Woodcraft this week.

 

African Mahogany is beautiful, but is very acidic and requires dust control when working with it.

 

As you can see from the pictures, Rough sawn 8/4 Mahogany doesn’t sit in my shop for very long before it gets turned into something cool.

Stay tuned for updates as I get these pieces together for the Nutcracker Collectors Convention in May.
