mahogany blanks

Does anyone know of a company that makes a mahogany or reddish colored blank similar to the GL3 Loomis. I have a friend who wants to build some rods for his boys to match his GL3's. They need to be a less expensive blank but look similar. His kids are 9 & 11 and are kinda hard on equiptment. Any 8-10 lb moderate, durable graphite would do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

CUI, for starters. I believe their nice Benchmark series blanks may be that color.
