  • Re: where to find mountain mahogany??

    My friend was a hunting guide in Nevada, he used to bring home mountain mahogany pieces for us to use in the grill. He brought it back from somewhere in the Ruby mountain area of Nevada.

    long ago I carved some mountain mahogany and loved it, but can't find it for sale.
    any ideas?
    it turns out there are several species with that name...the one I carved in the past was from Idaho.
    maybe the others are just as good?

    In the Eastern US yellow birch is often called mountain mahogany. It was the preferred wood for wooden hand tools like wooden bodied planed before being mostly replaced by beech up north and live oak down south.
