Mahogany

Mahogany is a high-quality, durable hardwood prized for its rich reddish-brown color and fine, straight grain. It originates mainly from tropical regions like Central and South America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Known for its strength and stability, mahogany is commonly used in fine furniture, musical instruments, and veneer craftsmanship. Its natural oils resist pests and decay, making it long-lasting. The wood's appealing appearance and workability have made it a sought-after material for elegant, timeless designs. However, due to overharvesting, genuine mahogany is now protected and often replaced with sustainable or engineered alternatives.
