Why is there no data on Mexican mahogany ? I just came into a fair amount of very old stock (had been sitting in a workshop for decades) and would love to know a bit more about it
It is a small tree and not really harvested commercially, so there’s not much data on it at the moment. It should be very similar to Honduran mahogany, though I’m sure that will depend on the tree and if it is free of knots, defects, etc.

It makes good guitar necks is all I know. Let me know if you’re willing to sell some.
