Good questionnaire
Would love to see the final product when you get finished.

well as much as i would like to show you a finished product it is lookign doubtful at the moment as i have just priced up the price of the honduran mahogany lining and it came to £177 or $354. It looks like i may not be going ahead with this project, which is a major major pain as i have done most of the paper work for it I am currently looking out for cheaper deals so i will keep you guys posted. thanks for all the questionnaire responses.

edit: whoops made a small miscalculation its actually nearer to £300 or $600

How big of a box are you building? Because that seems a little ridiculous to me.

Have you called a local lumber yard to see what the cost would be?

I know that Rockler ships internationally as well (www.rockler.com) and they have mahogany as well as spanish cedar. Unless you are building a tower cabinet, then the cost should be much less.

thats what i thought, i had a good look around and found somewhere fairly local that will do it sawn to my dimensions for a good price, and they offer a student discount, so thats awsome and I will be going ahead with the project. I will post up some pics as i go along. Also if any one has any questions or suggestions it would be great to hear them.

thanks for all you help
