Mahogany LumberMahogany lumber comes in a variety of species, from African Mahogany to Santos Mahogany. As a rule, most of the world's Mahogany is rare or endangered, except in El Salvador and Honduras, where most of the stock now comes from. Plantation harvesting, especially in Honduras, has secured the life of this tree in South America. Now, it is healthy and bountiful thanks to plantation efforts.
Mahogany lumber is a yellowish-pink color when freshly cut, but matures to a deep reddish brown with age. This makes it a popular flooring and cabinet source all around the world. The tree itself can grow to a height of 150 feet and features a trunk diameter of as much as six feet. The tree can be found in higher elevations and prefers drier climates, as a rule.
This wood features a straight grain with a texture that is even and fine. It doesn't typically have voids or pockets and is excellent for machining and cutting. It can also be sanded and smoothed easily, which makes Mahogany an optimal lumber for highly glossy floors and other projects. Stains and finishes can be easily applied for a customized look as well.
