Mahogany Wood
Mahogany
varies from yellowish, reddish, pinkish, or salmon colored when freshly cut, to
a deep rich red, to reddish brown as the wood matures with age. Mahogany is
fine to medium texture, with uniform to interlocking grain, ranging from
straight to wavy or curly. Irregularities in the grain often produce highly
attractive figures such as fiddleback or mottle. Mahogany polishes to a high
luster, with excellent working and finishing characteristics. It responds well
to hand and machine tools, has good nailing and screwing properties, and turns
and carves superbly. Mahogany is regarded by many as the world's premier wood
for fine cabinetry, high-class furniture, trimming fine boats, pianos and other
musical instruments, sculpture, joinery, turnery, figured and decorative
veneer, interior trim, and carving.
Mahogany is truly one of the most exceptional woods out there! 🌿 Its rich color variations, stunning grain patterns, and remarkable workability make it a favorite among woodworkers, luthiers, and fine furniture makers alike. The way it ages gracefully, developing an even deeper and richer tone over time, adds to its timeless appeal.
