I've been given quite a large pile of old mahogany, all sorts of lengths and sizes.
Thankful though I am, this isn't my favourite wood and I don't have much inspiration with what to make with it.
Mahogany doesn't seem to lend itself too well to more modern designs, which is what I normally make.
I'm not opposed to dark woods - I use black walnut all the time - but there's something about the texture and grain of mahogany that always takes me back to ugly old wardrobes in a dank Victorian semi.
Anyone have any links to furniture sites or galleries that have more contemporary designs in mahogany for inspiration, or some ideas yourselves?
