We have always appreciated Mahogany as an instrument wood going all the way back to the Tactic days. It machines very well, is popular as an instrument wood, is very stable, and looks gorgeous. We have been using Jelutong wood for quite some time. It has some great properties as well including machinability and takes dyes and stains very well. One problem we have found is that sometimes the Jelutong can become unstable when first cut into the Block form leading to a bit higher reject rate. Everyone at the shop is excited to start working with the mahogany again. We currently have some very nice Jelutong Blocks in stock but by the next batch we will be shipping Mahogany Blocks. I will post up some completed pictures when the first Mahogany units start rolling out.
