AFRICAN MAHOGANY LUMBER - ROUGH RWL

AFRICAN MAHOGANY 5/4" - SPECIAL ORDER

AFRICAN MAHOGANY LUMBER – 5/4" - SELECT & BETTER
Rough Cut – Random Widths – Random Lengths

African mahogany is pink when first cut. Over time, it darkens to a reddish-brown, with streaks of pale, golden brown. The sapwood is yellowish-brown in color and is not always distinctly demarcated from the heartwood. The grain is usually interlocked, giving the wood a distinctive fine grain. The texture is even, and ranges from medium to coarse, but even, with a lustrous surface.

African mahogany works well but tends to woolliness and torn grain. It produces a moderate blunting effect on tools; therefore, sharp thin cutting edges are recommended. It has good gluing properties and holds nails and screws well. It can be stained or polished to an excellent finish. It is easy to slice and peel and makes excellent veneers.
