Who likes using Mahogany?

I just took apart 300 feet of fencing that a friend dropped off for me. I have tons of 2x3x36 mahogany spindles. I'm going to start making needles and poppers as soon as the duplicator is hooked up. Does anybody like making anything else out of mahogany?

I use it for needles. Smells like crap when you turn it though.

Yep, doing a decent size cabinet job right now with it.

I have made needles and poppers with it in the past

beautiful wood, very fine dust though

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

It makes good needles and a deep diveing swimmer. I made some pikes that would swim in the heaviest current

Mahogany covers a whole bunch of different woods, sort of like pine does.
Yes, different mahoganys for different things

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
