QUILTED MAHOGANY From THE TREE
Quilted mahogany: Swietenia macrophylla
Tom Ribbecke guitar. This was from the first material we ever cut up, when Tom was with us at the old Luthiers Mercantile.
If we had a nickel for every time someone asked if we had any of this special mahogany in our "stash," we'd be hundredaires!
We've had a fairly long history with this wood. Beginning in about 1985 we processed a number planks and supplied around 50 sets worth— everything from the highest, tortoise-shell look to what we called a "wave" figure. On probably 3 or 4 different occasions we cut up more, supplying Taylor Guitars with much of their stash.
That's me (Todd) parting out 1 of the 2 boards.
I guess we probably shipped out between 150 and 200 sets worth over the years. (If you don't know about "The Tree," do an internet search, and include the terms "quilted mahogany.")This last week another retired woodworker shipped two beautiful wide board to us and we were able to come up with several sets. (See photo lower left.) This is a little different looking than the last material. Not so much of a quilted look, but with harder and more intense "facets," as in the thumbnails below (click to enlarge). At the right angle to the light, you'll see a lovely tortoise-shell patterning.
Like the mahogany we processed a couple of weeks ago, this is the hard, great tapping stuff. And we've sanded using only 100 grit, so it will show much stronger using a finer grit paper and with a finish. And it's also over 30 years old and air-dried! We think we have priced it very fairly at $1500 per set.
Below is a photo from the 7 recent sets we'd offered All sold, 5 included matching tops, within 2 days! Click to enlarge.
