Well, I decided to fix the heel where it wad cracked by filing it down so that the fretboard will join the guitar at the 12th.fret instead of the 14th.

    Hi Uncle- after Randys' comment I checked Wikipedia, and it looks and sounds like Mahogany alright.There's enough of it in the neck block and tail block to make a new heel out of, and I already have a neck block and tail block made up of Black Cherry- going to use it for the 1949 Ohio license plate you sent me! That stuff's real easy to work compared to Oak

    Looks difficult.  Good wishes.   I think South America and Asia both have mahogany like woods.

    Just did some measuring- there's enough of the Mahogany in the neck block and the tail block to reconstruct the heel! I decided to use the Ariana neck to make a 6 stringer out of the Ohio license plate guitar, so I already have a Black Cherry neck block and tail block

    Hi Randy, just checked out Wikipedia- I do believe you are right! I've never worked with Mahogany before
