Re: [VAL] Peffer's wood project
Are you sure that you are not talking about Hounders Magogany? Philippine
Mahogany (comely known as Luan) is not a mahogany. Today it is commonly used for
core material for high grade plywood also commonly used for shipping crates
for Honda motor cycles.In 1965 when my Tradewind was built Walnut ply was used
and in which the core material were gum. Philippine mahogany also is very
opened grain very straight with no pattern.
