Cuban Mahogany
Does anyone have any source recommendations for Cuban Mahogany (neck stock)? I have found a few dealers but am not familiar with any of them.

Re: Cuban Mahogany
Tropical Exotic Hardwood in Carlsbad has carried it in the past. You may also want to search around south Florida and the Keys. There are a few mom and pop lumber mills that saw up deadfall and trees harvested from homes and public property. http://urbanforestrecycling.com/

Re: Cuban Mahogany
Thanks Mark. I shot an email off to the vendor in the Keys you mentioned. Nothing back yet.

All the Cuban mahog I've seen was 19th c. plantation stock from Hawaii. I doubt you'll be finding any 3 x 3 stock.

Re: Cuban Mahogany
David, Blue Moon has 12/4 Cuban Mahogany. Theirs is from plantation grown trees in the south Pacific (Palau, IIRC). That said, it's possible that CMahogany grown outside its native range may have different characteristics; I don't know anything about that.
