Mahogany Wood

Mahogany is a fine-grain, tropical hardwood that is easily maintained and is insect, fungus and rot resistant. It is a hard and strong wood comparable in strength to Oak and Teak, and is much more scratch resistant than Cedar or Pine. With the best regards for our environment we take every effort to ensure that our Mahogany is sourced from well-managed permanent forests that allocate re-plantation.

Mahogany is selected for durability and decay resistance to maintain their natural beauty even under the varying weather conditions. Mahogany furniture seasons/weathers well with minimal shrinkage and checking. In Malaysian government tests, this wood was found to last up to 30 years when stakes of Meranti were driven into the ground. As a hardwood it holds fasteners well and it is environmentally nontoxic.

Each kiln dried Mahogany piece is ready to paint, oil, or leave natural. When left untreated it weathers to a soft gray. If treated, it should be treated with finish products meant for softer woods because Mahogany is a dense wood. A yearly application is recommended, or as weather conditions dictate.
