    Mahogany for rifle stock?

    Has anyone used mahogany as a rifle stock?
    Looking at the specs it looks suitable in terms of stability etc. Will attempt at making my first stock in the near future and have access to a large supply of well seasoned 60+ years mahogany.
    Any drawbacks? I understand it probably won’t be as light as walnut but that’s not an issue as if it goes well I might make another out of a walnut blank. Thanks in advance
