I have over 3,400 board-feet of genuine Honduran rough cut mahogany (swietenia macrophylla).

I bought it 30+ years ago while I was restoring antique and classic wooden boats. It was purchased from a family that was closing a lumber company they owned in Honduras. The mahogany has always been stored inside, it has not been rained on or stored outside in the sun. It would be sold in one lot and not parceled out. I have a spreadsheet with the dimensions as well as some pictures. This is a rare find, and $9.00 per board foot should be a fair price. I can be reached at jwy@mindspring.com or 813-244-7654.

It's located near Clarksville, Virginia which is about 10 miles North of the NC border.
