: Mahogany? Man, the envy! I'd guess you could do the boat, but make the strips
: 1/8" thick if the saw will do it. Mahogany is much denser and
: stronger than cedar, so this should work OK in building and keep some of
: the avoirdupois at bay. One question,however: Why not knock out a guitar
: or two while you're at it? Mahogany is one of the great tonewoods for
: backs and sides.

Do you build guitars Scott? That's a project I'd like to tackle someday.
