I was reading some old posts and someone was talking about mahogany. It reminded me of some time I spent living in Thailand and working in a factory there. I was amazed/damn jealous of the wood they used for shipping pallets/skids. They consider mahogany and teak as utility grade woods. I was thinking..... 'If only my luggage was 8' long, what I could bring back'. I know we can get these species here, but the great patterns looked quite unique. Maybe it's worth having a container shipped back, it's around $2000 to have a container the size of a freight train shipped by boat. Now, only if my garage was big enough to store it.....
