Thread: Mahogany for rifle stock?

Kanuka (IF you can get a millable size trunk) is about opposite to kauri, ie too dense/heavy. I've made fishing mates clubs from kanuka on the lathe, sure deals to "unco-operative" fish.

I once used some super-dense Asian hardwood that came off a pallet for turning a club. It was so dense that it immediately sunk when accidentally dropped in the water.
