I have always assumed that the timber that I salvaged and have been using for a while is mahogany. Can someone confirm or deny this, please? I never thought to ask until I saw another 'what wood' thread.....
See the box in my signature, or any of the bits and bobs here.
I am just about out of the stuff now, so any suggestions for what timber to try next would be appreciated (I will probably have to wait until I go to Yandles). I am more of a carver than a cabinet maker, and like to expose the character of the wood rather than hide it. I have carved a yew walking stick and love the grain patterns - is yew easy or hard to work?
