Cast your eyes upon Genuine Mahogany, the humble wood that makes proud furniture and musical instruments. There's just no two ways about it; mahogany is a dream to work, from hand carving to machining and applying a finish. Other woods might have an appearance like mahogany, but none of them have the same personality. It's stable, flat, clear, and gorgeous.
Sizes you can expect:
Thickness
1-13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (8/4 S2S) |
Widths
4''-10'' with the edges still rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (see below). |
Lengths Up to 8'. Longer lengths may be available for local pick up or truck freight shipment. Contact us to verify. |

[+] What if I need specific sizes? You'll have to cut your own pieces to size. Hardwood lumber is sold as a bulk raw product, which means that our stacks of lumber have a big variety of sizes most often from 4" up to 12" wide, and 6' to 16' long.
- Only some unusual exotic woods are narrower than 4" and under 6' long. This is clearly stated when that's the case, everything else is larger.
- We always ship the longest boards possible, and rarely ship boards less than 48" long unless you request shorter. The longest we can ship by UPS is 96" (that's 8').
For general fine woodworking, the various widths and lengths meet the needs and desires of woodworkers building furniture, cabinetry, and fine woodwork. But we do understand that certain projects have some requirements, and we're happy to help you out.
Here's how we can help you get the sizes you need:
- We can hand-select material that will yeild what you need. Type your needs into the "Selection" field right above the Add to Cart button above when you place your order. 4 things to know about size requests
- We can do some custom milling or cutting. Please call or email to talk about your needs.
- Thickness: 1-13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (8/4 S2S)
- Widths: 4''-10'' with the edges still rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (see below).
- Lengths: Up to 8'. Longer lengths may be available for local pick up or truck freight shipment. Contact us to verify.
- Grade: Select & Better. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.

The wood was beautiful. I thought about just hanging it on the wall as received, but I guess I'll have to use it for my project.
