Jwade,

That is one nice looking plaque. How did you find the mahogany to carve? It looks like it carved very nice.

Bobreda,
I purchased this mahogany as a bulk purchase, from a local supplier. Internetlumber.com is a good supplier, with fair prices for quality wood.
The mahogany carves great w/ minor "fuzzies" that cleans w/ brass brush on a dremel. But pratice carving on pine. It could get real expensive.
http://woodworkerssource.net/ is also a great sight w/alot of info about each type of wood and its reaction to weather/ temp. etc.... I scan spend way to much time on ths site.
