I am in possession of several boards of ‘quilted mahagony’ – I’d like to know what it is worth. Would it be worth more
if I have it cut into veneers or “don’t touch it!”

The tone of this wood is warm in the bass and bright in the treble. The wood from this tree will always be a best kept secret in our world of wonder.

I happy to report the big 13 1/2 by 3 foot board was seen off from it's home in Texas out to California. I think it is the was board in the wild, It came right from Robert Novak to him to be. He'd had the the board since 1994. Terence, great article on my favorite wood.

My Master Teachers called this "Unobtainium" & Mr. Novak himself decided to not pay so much attention to the odds & again managed to do what most would consider impossible!! I plan to get back to the Peruvian Broadleaf Evergreen Lowland Amazonian Rainforest again soon & cooperate with the native people in legally securing these rare types of figured trees as well as replant many times over to help replenish what man has destroyed... In doing so we can help secure a better & brighter future for the Natives like the rare & only "Yagua" Indians we encountered on the tropical rainforest biology expedition while attending Pittsburg State University.

I played guitars with such mahogany and I remembered it didn't sound like the usual mahogany tone I know. The beauty of the grain, great curvy contrast created by the quilted pattern will not fail to capture your attention, indeed such guitar is an object of desire. Thanks for giving it the attention it deserves. Great illustration with stunning pictures! I played guitars with such mahogany and I remembered it didn’t sound like the usual mahogany tone I know.
