Hi
Anja thanks for your reply & good information, however I made my choice its Mahogany i went online to Cornwall model boats, I sent for it at 11.30 A.M & received the Strips the following morning, I am happy with the colour Mahogany it is a nice red & similar to the Sapele bits of left overs that I have, the strips do cut nicely, I have brushed on a few coats of clear varnish & the colour is going a darker red/ brown, I now know why people think Mahogany is a dark wood including myself, its because they only see it when it is finished on furniture & boat rails ect & not in its natural state
By for now Anja
