I'm 81, this is my last project. I need some cauls for a 22" x 18" flat panel. I've raided my maple cauls to the point that there are none left (didn't anticipate this). I have an old piece of 8 quarter African Mahogany. Won't do me any good as we're moving by next year to a smaller place and I'm getting out of woodworking, yardwork and stairs. My thinking is: The panel isn't that big and 8 quarter Af. Mahogany is a pretty good size, it shouldn't give much. I'll bite the bullet and go to woodworkers and buy more maple if you all think the mahogany is too soft even if the panel isn't very big. I'm looking at what a 2" x 2" x 2.5' caul of it would make and I'm ready to use it. Caul expert input please.
