Wonderful wood to carve.  Great for relief and furniture.  Ages into a really deep patina.  The "Piecrust Table","Footstool" and "Misc Carvings" on my PictureTrail album are all Honduras Mahogany.

  I have come across a couple of peices of some nice honduran mahogany and wonder if it is good carving wood.  Can I hand carve it or should I power carve it.  is it good to use for a relief or better for in the round type things.  What would be a good finish to highlight the grain?   any other info on working with mahogany would be appreciated.  thanks
