"Faster/higher temperature curing can be/generally is problematic unless precisely/knowledgeably controlled."
Further research on your part is required Sam.
Not into "wood" myself, but grew up with a neighbor who cut/dried hardwood and other trees to make furniture/paneling et cetera and it's a highly skilled process, for furniture and especially for a TT platter.
My father built a house in 1955/1956 with mahogany siding and it required a pre-drilled hole for every nail.
When he added a garage 5-6 years later -w- the same siding my job (I was 5-6 years old) was to drill the holes using a jig and a drill press.
Old growth mahogany is weird wood, similar to drilling thicker cold rolled steel which I later (years later) became familiar with.
Made a super duper hash pipe out of it though, when I was 16, which worked extremely well with digging into an egg/hash breakfast.
