So I get my Mahogany from a friend of mine who does custom cabinets and restorations. I've got a standing order with him that whenever he finds a piece that's 8"wide and 24"+ long and 3/4" thick that I get them. I get great wood, and he gets to sell scraps. It's a nice little partnership.Where are you sourcing your mahogany? I've found Ocooch Hardwoods has great wood and fair prices:

I was working on an idea for a fancy 7 pipe stand with mahogany and hard maple. I have to start over because I didn't make it nearly wide enough. It's unnecessarily complicated and will be a larger footprint than necessary for a 7-pipe rack. I have thin stock and pen blanks as well, I plant on fancy scroll work pieces for lifting the tiers, with the pen blanks at the corners, also fancy cut, like a staircase box newel.
General concept before I restart, if I can ever get motivated (it took me a year to get to this point, where I discovered a few issues with the design):

So heres my hack. Drill the holes and cut the board in half. Then it's off to the router table to bevel it.Cutting all those slots must be fun!!!

No, I think it’s the North Jersey Bikini Team. And between them, they’ve stored a lot more than just six pipes.Is that the Swedish Bikini Team?
Mega racks, maybe, but you could still store only six pipes between those "bookends."
Well it's clear something wasn't quite natural either way.No, it's Surgically Generated.
