I would like to make a mash paddle, using a left over floorboard. it is made from a mahogany type of wood, and all i can remember is that it is a german variety.
do you think this is safe to use ?

Re: safe wood
Most mash paddles are made of hard wood, mahogany would be ok but not perfect. ..but you need to find what wood you have and if it's been treated!
