Medium reddish brown, darkening with exposure. Stable, fine textured and with a solid feel. A wonder of workability, exceptional on the lathe and a polisher's delight.
Very rare, very famous and very desirable.
This stock is a fantastic find, unused old stock from a factory workshop originally imported from Jamaica in 1908.
Not much of this type of mahogany was imported after the 1920's and the trade from Cuba finally ended in the 1940's.
There is also currently available some very old stock lumber from two separate discoveries probably around 150 years old including desirable sizes for table leaves and chunky sections suitable for chair making. Please call for availability and price.
