 I am looking to buy some wood on ebay called Wawabima,
 Is this close to Mahogany?

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.
