About our mahogany neck blanks
Used in traditional guitarmaking, genuine mahogany is very stable, dense, and is one of the best woods for woodworking; it sands easily, routered edges stay crisp and sharp, and it accepts stains and finish. Unsurpassed working and finishing qualities. |  |  |
The Honduras Mahogany species is secure and plentiful, though international trade is restricted. The supply of our wood is from sustained yield forests and is CITES certified.
While mahogany is becoming more restricted, the search for comparable alternatives has been ongoing. Sipo (pronounced see-po) is the closest we are finding to the traditional mahogany that does not have any restrictions to shipping it world wide.
Our online instructions Neck Construction Tips and Techniques include tips for adding headstock "ears," routing for a truss rod, laminating a classical guitar heel, and more.
