I am looking to buy some wood on ebay called Wawabima,
Is this close to Mahogany?
Sawwood
Here is the USDA report on Wawabima (http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/TechSheets/Chudnoff/African/htmlDocs%20africa/sterculiarhin.html)
Here is African Mahogany (http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/TechSheets/Chudnoff/African/htmlDocs%20africa/khayaivor)
Here is Philippine mahogany (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Pterocarpus_indicus.html#Yields%20and%20Economics)
Here is Honduran Mahogany (http://www.iswonline.com/wwp/wom/mahogany.shtml)
There is also West indies, Florida and several other trees that go by the name Mahogany. Sweetenia being the most commonly known one.
Thanks Tom
I am going to make a brife case out of this wood.
