A friend has a source(cabinetmaker) who can supply us with mahogany. Can it be used in a smoker? Thanks as always for your input.

Never used mahogany, but my understanding is that it can be used to smoke food. I'd recommend using it sparingly. And of course, due to the source, make sure none of the wood has any chemicals on it such as stain, glue, etc. You may come across hams or bacon that are labeled smoked with 'mountain mahogany' but that is not a true mahogany.

Mahogany smoked meats use "Mountain Mahogany" which is not at all related to Honduras or other types of mahogany used in cabinetry.
 
Doesnt' sound like a good idea to me. Especially since it's related to cabinetry or wood working. Stick with the tried and proved woods: oaks, fruit woods, pecan, etc.
