: I agree with all the other responses, do not waste the wood on the boat make
: something else out of it or use it for accent strips. That wood is way too
: valuable. I have worked with wood for about 25 years and I have only seen

: those boards. Dining room table top would look good made out of that.
: Solid mahogany not particle board laminate.

If you are not a woodworker and have not worked with wood for years, you will not realize
how valuable those boards are. You must learn that the wider and longer a board
is the more rare and valuable it is.

Save those boards for something that requires a long wide board, as was suggested,
a table top.

It will be a sin and you will burn in hell, (over a mahogany fire) if you cut
those beautiful old growth boards into little pieces. The devil made me say that.

Sell one and finance your strip boat.
