Hey Dawgs,
Has anyone used Mahogany for knife handles? I know it's a great out door wood and is very stable, the color is pretty nice while the grain isn't all that fancy. Although I've found some that has kind of a weird grain, (weird to me), right away it reminded me or made me think of Maidens Hair Damascus in places, I don't know why. Some of this wood is pretty light weight, while other pieces feel like they weigh a ton, I did notice the grain of the heavier pieces was closer to the middle of the tree, while the lighter pieces had weird, but really cool grain. Is anyone interested in using this wood for knife handles, if I can offer the blocks at a really great price? I've gotten interested in using this now, I'm going to look up the properties of Mahogany to see what all it's used for, other than Victorian furniture! Thanks Dawgs!
