Mahogany price?

[Keith 66]

Im a bit out of touch with timber prices as a lot of wood i use is reclaimed but i just got offered some boards, they are 2 1/2" thick by 12" wide 18ft long If i am not mistaken they are a good quality mahogany possibly honduras, theres 3 of them & they have been in the roof of a friends barn for 25 years any ideas on what the stuff is worth?

Best snap it up, or one of us will find out

Sounds like a great find if its genuine. Good luck.

Last price I was quoted was £400 a cubic foot or about £250 for Brazilian, Cuban about £600 not cheap.

Well i done the deal, two of the boards had 4 steel bolts sticking out of one of the sides, put a set of stillsons on them & they were just cut off coach screws so unscrewed easily. Still not quite sure what species they are but got the lot plus some shorts 9ft in length for £300 the lot.
The other half isnt too impressed but she will come round!
A nice set of gunwales for a 28ft Rowing Gig is the first job, Happy days!
