A Little Backstory on Mahogany Models

Mahogany Models was established almost twenty years ago by accident. The founder of the company was an airline pilot and former Naval Aviator.


As a kid, he went to hobby shops and bought cheap plastic models he put together himself. But his assembly skills as a youngster were below par…especially the application of glue. Most of his models looked like glazed donuts.


He found himself nearing the end of his aviation career due to reaching the mandatory retirement age. To preserve some of the fond memories of his flying-life over a 40-year period, he sought out real craftsmen who could make an exact replica of the many planes he used to fly.


Eventually he found a group (a family really) that had been doing precision carvings for half a century. From having a perfect replica of his Navy A-7E Corsair constructed sprang forth Mahogany Models; the finest custom aircraft models from the finest wood craftsmen you can find.


But the story does not end there. In addition to custom aircraft models, the company expanded into the construction of customized models of various types of Aerospace vehicles.
When it comes to accurate wooden model recreation we are the Go-To-Guys for many particular clients who demand exacting detail on their model projects. We have done work for the United States Air Force, NASA, CNN, the White House, and other organizations. Every order we receive is a custom order. No two projects are alike. Let us begin work on your project…and prepare to be amazed.

Custom Models

Bring unique ideas and designs to life by creating detailed, handcrafted wooden models, carefully shaped with precision, and creativity to every little detail.

Finally, you can have a truly customized aircraft model made accurately enough for wind tunnel testing sitting right on your desk… But you can have it made for a lot less than what aerospace companies have to pay.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a prototype aircraft just off the drawing board or something that’s been around forever. If you flew it, worked on it, or you just like to look at it…. we can recreate it for you exactly the way you want it.

Why not preserve your memories? They don’t come and go with changes in the economy or corporate management.
Your thoughts can’t be furloughed, outsourced, or fired and will last well beyond retirement.

What could be better than a hand-carved, hand-painted truly customized airplane, rocket, or helicopter model made just for you or that special someone, who loves aviation as much as you do.

Mahogany Models doesn’t take the cookie-cutter approach

Unlike most companies, we will never force you to choose from some old stockpile of models in the back room that we’re dying to get rid of.

We do not maintain any inventory!
Instead, we make everything individually… just the way you want it!
Our work is custom, period.

We will construct your model to match any high quality pictures you can provide us or direct us to. Just give us the details and we’ll do the rest.
