African Mahogany Gloat

[Bill Bulloch]

The owner of the place I buy my hardwood gave me these boards that were used to Chock down a load of Bloodwood he received. Looked like good useable wood, so I took them home. I trimmed off the groves and squarded them up on the planner to 3 square inches; three board feet of African Mahogany. I can see a lot of Christmas Ornaments or even Pepper Mills coming out of this.

Great gloat Bill! Pepper mills would be a great project from those boards.

Nice score, Bill. Good looking and best of all the perfect price!

[John Keeton]

Unbelievable what some places consider 'scrap wood!' Kind of like finding exotics in some of the pallets. I guess it is whatever they have lying around.

Good score!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! How cool! Congrats on the great looking wood!

Nice find... I'm guessing you'll cut them up into little pieces for segmenting.:D

Probably not these they will end up being 3x3 inch turning blanks. I can think a lot of other uses for them. I do, however, have some African Mahogany wood left over from two benches I just finished. If you get Wood Magazine, the feature article this month was a bench made from Quarter Sawn Oak. Well, I made two of them out of African Mahogany. Waiting for the wife to pick out the material for covering the seats. These left overs will end up segments, I'm sure.

I'm seeing a few nice pepper mills in there Bill.
Nice score on the mahogany.

Good score, Bill. :)
