My first roughout from Mountain Mahogany. Roughly 7" diameter. True to everything I'd read the wood is very dense and very heavy. It turns very well but does seem a little on the brittle side.
There is a wonderful contrast between the heartwood and the sapwood. In many cases I will remove much of the sapwood, in this case I'm probably going to try and retain most of it as I really like the color and the contrast.
