Tim,
What kind of wood have you used on that sea hood you're building?

Well, mostly, though other woods do get sold as Mahogany. But since the most common substitution is Lauan, and Tim generally identifies that when he uses it (including in the Circe project), you're right that it's probably safe to assume he means Honduras Mahogany.

I must be missing something here... I thought Tim wrote Honduras mahogany.

Huh... when I read it earlier it just said "Mahogany". Granted, I had assumed Honduras Mahogany, but I'd swear it didn't actually say that.

Or, you know, I'm just crazy. Which could happen.
