: African mahogany can be strange, I've had pieces that were quite
: oily while others seem to have no oil in them at all but it all
: looks the same. Still scrubbing the oily ones with a scotch
: brite pad and acetone will remove the surface oils for a
: reliable epoxy joint. This works on most oily woods like teak
: too.

Thanks, all, for your responses. Will do!
