Guy in town just put "indonesian" mahogany up for $2 for ea 5"x3"x24" piece - reasonable price.
This is what is looks like
Now the 5x3 seems to be the 2 piles on the left.
I see a lot of boxed hearts and a lot of cracks.
How rustic is too rustic - I could make tele bodies out of this, I could fill or stabilise the cracks...
Are boxed hearts too unstable?
Am I wasting my time?
Can I pass up this ludicrously low priced wood?
Thanks for your 0.02$.
