Glad to know I am not the only one to be inspired by Uwe and his 63.

I love mahogany for sure. I've seen some Airstream sources list the interiors of the mid-late-60s International models as "Honduran mahognay" but maybe that's just a myth? Here's a link to a '65 Tradewind that is currently listed on the Classifieds here on this site, this is what they're calling Honduran mahogany (not just this seller, I've seen the refernece before), but you're a carpenter and I am but a lowly engineering nerd, so I'll take your word for it:
