Mahogany is a beautiful fine textured wood often used in building fine furniture. Its grain is often ribbon striped and iridescent in the light. Its reddish to rusty brown color will darken with age and exposure to the light giving unsurpassed deep rich wood tones. This species is more commonly used in the Eastern U.S. in higher end homes as well as throughout the U.S. in light commercial applications such as in office buildings and professional clinics.
