I have used other woods, cedar and redwood were among my favorites. With the closing of many American forests to harvesting, the abundance of native, old-growth lumber, with its characteristic resistance to rot, decay, and bug infestation became scarce and mostly non-existant. Lumber yards had to look elsewhere for their products and the quality of lumber took a real hit. No longer were the woods I knew and loved easily available but their quality was terrible. They looked bad and performed worse. I had to look elsewhere and found a wood I could enjoy working with and one that would retain the desireable characteristics of woods I had loved. The mahogany I use is very high quality. It is clear, dry, has good grain definition and finishes well. But the most important find of this wood was it's resistance to rot, decay and bug infestation. It holds up extremely well. When I finish the wood with a stain or natural wood tinting and follow that with two coats of Teak/tung oil it becomes almost indestructible.
James Gates is now offering a replacement wood entry gate at a very attractive price. For about half of an original James Gate you can now have a replacement for your "tired" old gate, (probably the one that came with your home) and has seen better days. This new product can be installed in less than a day and I guarantee this product is many times better than anything you may have seen offered at the price.
