Got Wood

I've acquired the very first piece of material. A gigantic hunk of mahogany. It is approximately 2" x 6" x 9'. It weighs something to the tune of 40 pounds, but that is a guess. I got it for $ 116, taxes in, at kjp select hardwoods. He it is.

I went with mahogany because I want this guitar to sound thick and meaty a'la Les Paul (but really would be happy if it sounds anything like a guitar at all). And also because I have 2 electric guitars already and they're made of swamp ash and basswood and mahogany is basically the opposite of those.
