What Is Mahogany Wood?

afrisone@laffey.com — Sun, 11 May 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Mahogany wood is a richly colored lumber that is among the more valuable wood species in the world. It is known for its unique pink coloring, which develops into a deep reddish-brown as the wood ages. Unlike alternative wood products, such as oak or pine, mahogany features very few knots or voids. This gives the wood a smooth, even grain pattern, which makes it ideal for fine furnishings and wood craft.

Most species of trees that produce mahogany wood grow quite large, which enables harvesters to produce large, continuous boards. Using these large boards, furniture makers can create desks, tables, and other furnishings without seams or joints. Mahogany is also relatively easy to work with. It is incredibly strong and durable, allowing craftsmen to create long-lasting products. Compared to other materials, mahogany is easy to sand, cut cleanly, or turn on a wood lathe.

While the majority of this wood is used for furniture-making, its rich coloring and durability also make it a popular choice for manufacturers of musical instruments. Many wooden drums are made from mahogany, as are acoustic and electric guitars. Wooden boat producers also rely on it due to its strength and resistance to rot. For a wonderful example of fine craftsmanship look no further than Long Island's Gold Coast sparing no expense and taking years for a finished product to come together. 8 Vista Drive in Laurel Hollow NY, has put together some of the most beautiful mahogany woods you can find.
