What to do with....
Feb 19th, 2005, 3:24pm
 
40 years ago my father purchased enough sawn mahogany to make a dining table and 4 (6?) chairs. I suspect he gave the timber merchant a cutting list from a wood working magazine or similar. For years it lay tied up in bundles in the roof space of his garage then when he died I inhereted it - and it's now it's in my garage"

My question is what to do with it now? I'm reasonably good with my hands - but perhaps not that good. I don't have the original plans nor do I have large wood working tools - a decent 6" planer would probably be needed.

My wife suggests finding someone to turn it into furniture but I suspect wood is cheap and skilled labor very expensive. Too expensive?

Any other ideas?

If you don't want it,sell it - have seen lots of wood on e-bay (I agree that it would be expensive to have it made into furniture now)
