Well, we are now on our way to bringing reclaimed old growth mahogany to the US. Infinity Luthiers is now the marketing agent for the instrument grade and quartersawn material processed by GreenerLumber LLC. Greener Lumber, owned and operated by Richard Petty, is working with agents in Belize to find logs lying at the bottom of creek and river beds. Some of this material is already here and has just finished drying. I do not foresee any of the mahogany making it into the tonewood store until late December or early January.
Many folks have been contacting us with requests for material; thank you for your interest. We would like to give everyone a chance at some tonewood or quartersawn material to complete their instrument or woodworking project, so, we are starting an email list for the tonewood store. If you join the email list, an email will be sent to you each time new lumber is added to the tonewood store. For those of you not on the email list, you will have to check the tonewood store often. As the lumber becomes more available and we have a steady supply coming out of the kiln, I envision being able to take custom orders for material.
Until the email list is in place, please use the contact us page to send a note. Indicate your name, email address and that you would like to be placed on the email list for tonewoods.
As new material is milled, resawn and used in projects, check here for updated photos and comments about the quality of the lumber.
