Anyone got any suggestions for a good substitute to the standard mahogany? Edited by Cmatthewssn on 01/13/14 - 8:54 PM

There are any number of hardwood retailers in NC that offer mahogany or mahogany-esque woods that would be suitable. African Mahogany Spanish Cedar Philippine Mahogany Sapele Honduran Mahogany These are all suitable woods. This dealer has very good pricing. Both the African Mahogany and Spanish Cedar are about $6 per board foot or about what I pay for While Oak here in Seattle http://www.walllumber.com/products.aspoducts.asp There is no pricing on the web site, but this Raleigh dealer has just about any kind of hardwood you need: http://anchorhardwoods.com/exotic-woods/tic-woods/
