Source of free Mahogany ? - September 10, 2007

This morning having coffee at a local store, I got to talking with a gentleman that builds furniture. Told him I needed to buy some mahogany. He said not to buy but come to his shop. He had a pile of mahogany six foot tall in lengthy up to four feet. In asking where he found got it. Said that it come from pallets that his items are shipped on from Indonesia. Further, that most folks are unaware of this. Further, many pallet recyclers done like to use, because it hard to nail. So, I pass this along to those looking. They should talk to folks that 1: ship in large items from Indonesia or 2. Talk to pallet recyclers.
