Unfortunately, we are unable to ship Honduran Mahogany outside of Canada.
Mahogany has long been a standard tonewood for guitar and instrument builders. It sands and polishes well, and is easy on edge tools. In workability, aesthetics, and tonal qualities, it is simply a dream wood. Tonally, Mahogany excels in the midrange, having less of both the high and low frequencies than Rosewood. We are happy to offer these dramatically figured sets to our customers, especially in view of the increased difficulties in importing this valuable tonewood. There are different species of wood now coming onto the market that are being confused with Mahogany, but this is the real deal.
The figure could be described as a combination of quilt and bearclaw. It shows up best on the flat-sawn face, the same as quilted maple.
