Hi
Does anyone know what species of mahogany Edison used when making the cylinder machine cabinets?

I believe it is Santo Domingo (swietena mahogani), but Honduran mahogany (s. macrophylla) is very close. Probably the best source of this material today is if you can find some old furniture that is ruined for one reason or another, and harvest the lumber from the carcass.
