Sometimes I can't the pics on our work network - they filter some stuff out. But no problems with these home or at work. Stunning wood!

Beautiful set there Bob! That is some nice, unusual looking figure too.

What is the weight and density of this Sinker Hog like compared to regular Honduras Mahogany?

Fred mahogany can be stubborn at times but like they say where there's a will there's a way and this stuff sure creates the will. bliss

Andrew I was so anxious to see what the sets would look like that I didn't take the time to compare. All I can do now is compare 1 set of each. It sure feels denser. Pretty nice ring too.
