I might have a couple 8ft 2 x4s of this mahogany in my shed from long ago. it's been a long time since I've seen them but I seldom throw anything away. I've used several different types of mahogany when I was in my carpenter mode and picked the 2 x 4s up somewhere. not positive if this is the mahogany you're looking for but maybe it is. the 2-3 times I tried ripping some strips from one I remember it was very hard to cut, the sawdust was very fine and yellow, reminded me of pollen, even though the board utself was a deep brown on the outside. the reason I never used it and will never ever use it is because every time I started ripping a board, just breathing in the smallest bit of sawdust in the air after cutting just a few inches would give me dry heaves and/or puke. I'm almost gagging now just thinking about it. I've never seen this type of mahogany before or since. I believe I got it off a supply vessel after it arrived back from a job around there. I could could send a couple pictures of the wood if you think this might be what you're looking for. I'll never get close to these boards with a saw ever again so if it's what you're looking for... they're all yours for the price to get them there
