| Post subject: | What happened to my Hond Mahogany? |
Looking through the woodpile the other day and found small white deposits in the grains of my Hond Mahogany. I don't remember them being there last year when I sanded the sides, any chance they are mineral deposits? Any idea if they will disappear under finish (FP or KTM9)? Attachment: Hond Mahog Sides.JPG I only have the one set, so I don't have anything to compare them to, but the back plates are fine. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Laurie |

Thanks Todd - I'm surprised I hadn't head that before  , but I do tend to stay away from Mahogany. I must be the only guitar builder who doesn't like it! One more reason for me to stay with Sapele I guess.Keep an eye on the classifieds - it's on my list to get rid of! Thanks, Laurie |

Thanks, Laurie FWIW, I have the exact same thing on a bunch of sapele I've been using. I was a little concerned, till I hit it with naptha and it disappeared. No worries! Ken |

Well, I'm no expert so I'd have to trust the good advice you've already got but... I have a Larrivee(they use clear porefiller) mahogany guitar and you can still see white deposits in the pores. |
