African Mahogany is the lightest of the Mahoganies in weight and color. Its slightly stiffer per pound than Honduran. Honduran Mahogany is one of the most poached woods you can buy. If we abuse our forests we wont have any left! This is from plantation grown African Mahogany. The figure on this piece is wild. Its a heavy ribbon mixed with a light fiddleback! The main block is 28". I've added a 3 inch matching block to complete the heel stack.

Sustainably plantation harvested.

 

 Nyle's low temp. dehumidification kilned to 6%. Equalized and conditioned.
