Mitch Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 60 lengths of mahogany, most big enough to make a neck. Not a bad price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mahogany-timber_W0QQ...1QQcmdZViewItem Just thought you guys might be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 That's not what i'd call cheap seeing that half the stuff is really too small to be easily usable and probably 50% of the remaining stuff would be destined for the bin due to knots, shakes, splits etc. I mean, £110 from a reputable timber merchant would get you a plank big enough for 2/3/4 bodies and 4/5/6 necks depening on construction.

erikbojerik Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I once saw a government auction for 200,000 board feet of honduran mahogany that was seized by customs - it went for something like $1/bf but you had to pay either by cash or certified check. The wife wasn't too crazy about taking out a second mortgage on the house In hindsight, she was right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammo1 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 That is just up the road from where I live and agree you could buy some more usable mahogany for that price,still it might make someone a nice coffee table ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I might consider going halves on it with someone if now was the right time for me, financially :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
