Yes I think Andrew is correct that the timber is Honduran Mahogany .
This has been confirmed by a Restoration expert and a timber wholesaler /specialist.
This Mahogany varies in colour quite a bit but grain/texture is even and fine .
I'm convinced that BAC would have stained the lighter pieces to match the darker pieces .
The Mahogany that is currently available is South American Mahogany and is farmed in a number of tropical locations . It tends to be softer than the older natural forest grown timber.
Thanks for the input
