A&M wood in Ontario probably still has some Honduran they'd cut up. Shane Neifer at High Mountain Tonewood also has some.

I don't know where you live but you can try this place, Craftsman Hardwoods 800-378-3782 and also Exotic Hardwoods in Burlington.

I don't know where you're from, Terry, but I know of three places in and around Ottawa where you can buy mahogany. I don't know if you'd get a one piece slab, but you could always join them. Most wood places will let you cut a desired length off a board, and buying them this way will save you mucho deneros...

PM me if you're in the area.

Hi Shane Ive been real busy, so I havent been on the forum much lately. But if you still have some mahogany I would be interested in some. I would like four one piece body blanks and neck blanks to make some lp replicas. By the way, I am not that far from you Im in Fort St. James.
So let me know?
Thanks,
Terry...
