Sourcing Rare Mahogany in 2026
Sustainability and the search for high-density tonewoods in a changing global marketplace.
Honduran mahogany was once everywhere. Today, sourcing a billet of properly aged, quartersawn mahogany for a custom neck means navigating CITES paperwork, certified suppliers, and a great deal of luck.
We stock from three primary suppliers in the Pacific Northwest and the UK. Each piece is dried for a minimum of two years before being cut for use.
