We had a mahogany/caoba tree on our property that was too close to a block wall, hanging onto our neighbor's property, etc., so we go the necessary permits and had it cut down last year.

This year we hired a local carpenter, and he built us a new front door, new bedroom door and a large free-standing closet from the wood. Lots of drama and delays, but we were happy with the results:

I made the great decition to have all "Caoba" in my house in SD. Doors,trim,cabinets,some walls covered,all the furniture.I have never been unhappy with my decision.
I am drooling over your "Wood"!
Can I come over and caress it sometime???
I have a guy come in once a month and rub it (The Caoba!)with furniture "oil".
After 16 years,it looks even better than on day one.
My wood doesn't have as much beautiful grain paterns as yours does,:( Lucky you!
