Mahogany?

Diarmsquid

Can anyone tell me where I an buy Mahogany?

I'm making a guitar for the Leaving Cert and need
a neck:
490mm long, 110mm wide, and 20mm thick

and a body:
950mm long, 360mm wide, and 50mm thick.

I'm based in Northside of Dublin in Marino, but anywhere you know of that could supply me the body would be great.
I can get the neck in Larry's DIY down the road, but I'd prefer to buy them together.

Any info would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

I know nothing about Guitar making,But is the body not made of some sort of ply or very thin board or veneer?

Would you not be better off making a neck from maple?

Hell no! :eek:

Maybe some piece of junk from Argos would be made from ply, but any relatively decent guitar will have a solid body, Alder or Mahogany would be most common.

You might be thinking of an acoustic guitar.

And, I just prefer Mahogany.

Wrong again. Any decent electric guitar will have a solid wood body.

Acoustic. I meant acoustic.
I'm gonna try Timber Factors in coolock and abbey woods tomorrow.
