Mahogany Planks "I Think"
Bought These very old stock Planks of Wood of what the salesman Said was Mahogany, I've had them in my garage for over 30 years thinking one day I'd use them, Never got around to use them all.
Decided to sell whats left of them
Pick up From Kings Park Vic.
7 lengths 50x200x1700 mm. $ 250.00 the lot or $40.00 Each,
8 lengths 50x150x1700 mm. $ 250.00 the lot or $35.00 Each.
Or preferably both lots $450.00
Cheers Antonio,

This doesn't look like Mahogany to me.
Niether real Mahogany or Oz hardwood of that name.
It may be Western Red Cedar or Oregon,post under the timber section for one of the experts to identify it.
Im not saying anything about the price or quality, it just isn't Mahogany.

Hi Tony,
You recall the stamp on the of the wood was CDC .....
It is Red Cedar ... also known as Indian Mahogany ....
I guess the reference to mahogany comes about because ..........
"Toona ciliata is a forest tree in the mahogany family which grows throughout southern Asia from Afghanistan to Papua New Guinea and Australia.[2][3] It is commonly known as the red cedar (a name shared by other trees), toon or toona (also applied to other members of the genus Toona), Australian redcedar,[4] Burma cedar, Indian cedar, Moulmein cedar or the Queensland red cedar. It is also known as Indian mahogany
Regards
Rob
PS Carol appreciated the turned pot

Hi Toymaker
I am still not sure what the timber is ... It has a CNF stamp on the ends ,.... here are some later pics ... It has no smell ... and is smooth as silk to feel.
Some straight grain ... some wicked ..

This is Oregon/Douglas Fir. I would bet my left one that the timber in this thread is not Oregon. I would bet them both but I lost the right one in a bet last week.

Here is a bigger piece of quarter-sawn Oregon I have in the shed.

Look at the variation of the growth rings. The wide ones are near the centre of the tree. I think I have other examples where the ring pattern is even tighter
Cheers
