I have a bunch of African mahogany left over from a project. I was looking at the nice wide swim platforms on some of these new ski boats and I wondered if I could use some of my left over African mahogany to build such a platform for my boat. I presume that mahogany would require a bit more protection than the teak platform/ladder that's on it now. I trailer the boat and kept in the garage most of the time, so resistance to submersion and prolonged UV shouldn't be an issue.
Anyone have any tips, suggestions, or warnings?
