MAHOGANY, MISC
It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish among all the types of mahogany so if I'm not sure what kind of mahogany a piece is, I put it here.
my samples:

crotch veneer and closeup of a the top middle, which is a swirly area away from the main crotch area

just listed as mahogany
"drape" veneer
fiddleback veneer
figured veneer
quartersawn figured veneer
specifically listed as curly veneer
listed as "gaboon" mahogany veneer, but I think this is just gaboon, which is not mahogany
pomelle veneer --- looks like sapele to me, but it can be hard to tell sapele from mahogany sometimes.

plum pudding mahogany veneer
bird's eye mahogany veneer --- I have not otherwise seen the "bird's eye" designation with mahogany which could mean that it's rare or could mean that I'm inexperienced.
Indian mahogany

Peruvian mahogany veneer --- two views and a closeup of the same sheets; it's this kind of color inconsistancy that led me to create this site in the first place.
Peruvian mahogany veneer
both of these are from the BogusColorVendor so the colors are highly suspect
Mexican mahogany
listed as "Yucatan" mahogany
listed as "mountain" mahogany
some pics of veneer paneling from a motel in Newark, New Jersey. I'm not sure how much the color has been affected by whatever finish was applied, and I'm not sure what sub-species it is, but the grain is nicely representative of what's available in mahogany.
guitar front made from a crotch area of tropical mahogany
guitar back and side made from what was listed as "flamed" mahogany, although flamed frequently mean curly, in this case it appears to mean mottled or quilted.
bowl just listed as mahogany
very nice use of a mahogany crotch lumber as the bow of a canoe. This picture was provided by Bill Logan. Thanks Bill.
