I'm making an all Mahogany Dread and I was wondering how thick you all make your tops? I was going to about 0.100 like I do on Spruce, but was wondering if that was too thick for Mahogany. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

I made one .117. It sounds better than I would ever have hoped. It's pretty lightly braced.
