My regular supplier is out and LMI seems a bit steep these days. I've got a very nice stock of premium Honduran Mahogany 3"x4"x 24" I'm an OLF sponser, by the way.

My favorite mahogany neck blank supplier right now is Hibdon Hardwood. They sell a 1x3 blank with a block for the heel at a very reasonable price. If you like scarf joints for the head and are OK with a separate block for the heel, I think they offer a great deal. |

It's nice that Hibdon is matching the blocks to the blanks, but even at the sale price it works out to $23 a board ft. But lutherie wood is special..... |

Mahogany is more expensive than other woods; that’s just going to be true. If I can get decent enough quality without it being too expensive, I feel OK about the purchase. I like what I’ve gotten from Hibdon. It is worthwhile to keep your eyes open on eBay, too. |

I think you need to look for Premium Mahogany neck billets on the Hibdon site, not Figured (very expensive) or Mid-Grade (pretty far off quarter). I just saw a few Premium billets on there. Not many, but a few. |
