The slabs that yielded these Mahogany Neck Blanks were very carefully selected for quality. This ensures the very finest cut for instrument necks.
The species is Khaya Ivorensis. This is an African Mahogany well known and widely used for the creation of fine stringed instrument and high-end furniture. This species is pretty much indistinguishable from Honduran Mahogany aesthetically, yet is more appealing to me personally because its a bit lighter in weight. These Mahogany Neck Blanks are absolutely perfect.
This is the highest grade, with super tight growth rings and cut on the quarter (quarter sawn). This ensures maximum rigidity and tonal transfer. Beautiful flowing grain patters with an almost holographic aesthetic, and rich warm colours. These Mahogany neck blanks will carve like a dream and look beautiful, creating tonally stunning instruments.
