Just like the Bloodwood, we haven't seen consistent grain like this in well over 10 years!

Bloodwood!

Here's a closeup of the new Bloodwood lumber, some of the nicest color we've seen in a while!

Genuine Honduran Mahogany (4,000 BF of 50 year old stock!)






We currently have approximately 4,000 board feet of Genuine Mahogany that was imported into the country in the 1960's. Old, tight-grained, bone-dry stock! Perfect for fine furniture, musical instruments, boat interiors, wood turning and more.

UPDATE: The size and "rustic/weathered" appearance of these boards make them a great option for different types of reclaimed furniture such as tabletops and benches. 

Sizes range from roughly:
1-4" thick x 3-12" wide x 48-200" long.
$18.00/BF
$14.50/BF (bulk/wholesale order of 100 BF or more)

Please note that although most pieces will have some type of checking/defects, overall each will yield plenty of usable material with careful cuts and measurements. To help offset some of the waste involved in milling these large pieces, we will be fairly generous in our measurements for all orders.

As a result of the wide range of sizes, we will not be listing this material on our online store.

Please contact us directly for all orders/questions or feel free to drop by the shop to check out the stock in person.
