Wood Gloat: Cuban Mahogany
david
There is an older district in Honolulu where the streets are numbered and the street trees planted here were Cuban Mahogany. This one came down because one large leg of the trunk had a rotten core, which may be visible in the piece on the far left. These aren't that many pieces as the count goes, but these are large pieces. The round piece with end grain sealer in the back is 15" across, and the large crotch piece in the middle is over 30" across. When it rains it pours. I have a large supply of other kinds of wood that I probably will never get to, but this is such a sweet turning wood.
