Large Oak/Utile Tankard with brass hoops

 Utile is one of the main substitutes for Mahogany, and generally it's a pretty good substitute, but it's also an attractive wood in it's own right. In describing it, the first word that comes to mind is 'red', but  a better description would be Red-Brown. This mixture of Oak and Utile works very well and is proving to be a popular choice.
