Guest 000 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Unfortunately I have exhausted my stocks of second hand mahogany op-shop bed heads that I use for various little projects. I see on TradeMe some timber called Fijian Mahogany. Has anybody used it? Is it any good? Does it look like real mahogany. Is it in fact real mahogany? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 000 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thank you, and that's interesting. The fijian mahogany is advertised as a species originating from South America. Will check it out when in Auckland next week - and also the op-shops for old bedheads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrytom 640 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Have tried demolition places??Jacobs demolition sell old totara,rimu, floorboards etc might have mahogany?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 000 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks harrytom. Will check them out. Recently I have acquired a very beaten up little mahogany table that will provide an amount of usable timber. Whangamata never fails to amaze with what comes to light out of people's garages, sheds, stowed up in the rafters etc when you put the word out about what you want.

Frank 157 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was going to suggest tables after the bed heads had run out after that get into the mid century Danske Mobler chairs. Wasn't it Nathanael Hereshoff who cynically said that Mahogany was anything red called Mahogany ? They are still harvesting Central American Mahogany it needs to seasoning though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aReJkSwqd6Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
