Here's a photo of a Greene & Greene picture frame I'd like to make:
It doesn't say what kind of wood it is, but most of the stuff in that particular house is mahogany. I would assume, since it's over 100 years old, it's Honduras mahogany.
I can find Honduras mahogany nearby, but I want to make the horizontal pieces about 1 1/4" thick, and the yard only has 4/4 stock. They also have Phillipine and African mahogany and Sapele.
I could probably find Honduras mahogany in another yard that's a bit further away but, if necessary, I'll make the trip to get as close to this photo as possible.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
