Does Bourgeios only use Honduran Mahogany?

[coolhand78]

Just wondering if all the pretty flamed/figured mahogany that Bourgeois uses is Honduran?

My Banjo Killer has figured Cuban Mahogany and is labeled accordingly:

My Banjo Killer Spec sheet just has figured mahogany as the back and side woods.

On the spec sheet for my OM, it just says "mahogany" but Dana told me it was Honduran. Don't know if that is true in general, though.

My figured hog Country Boy OM is Honduran. I assume unless they say otherwise and specify a different type, it's Honduran.

My fiddleback JOM and Slope D are Honduran.

My Country Boy OM with standard mahogany was indeed Honduran.

My Bourgeois AT Mahogany D was built with African mahogany (Khaya).

I think Dana uses South American mahogany but I've heard somewhere that he prefers the African mahogany.
