Mahogany Furniture

The name Mahogany refers to trees or wood from a family of hardwoods called Swietenia Mahogoni, variants of which can be found in many countries of the world. A Mahogany tree can grow up to 150 feet tall and 6 feet wide so when cut it produces boards with a straight grain with an even texture. The timber has a reddish brown colour which as with most woods will darken over time. It displays a rich reddish sheen when polished which can be achieved without the use of stain, this only adds to the appeal and is part of the reason behind the popularity of Mahogany.

It is often used for musical instruments such as for the backs of acoustic guitars and drum shells as well as a wide variety of electric guitars.

In past years mahogany was a preferred material for boat and ship building due to its ability to resist water and bugs.

Mahogany is a favourable material for fine furniture and cabinet making as it is a highly durable wood able to resist insects and moisture. It is also used in making antique furniture reproductions. When making mahogany furniture it is important that the wood be kiln dried and then inspected for warping before construction so that the finished product does not warp after manufacture. Various species of the tree have become extinct in some areas but most Mahogany furniture makers have a stable source for supply as it is now being cultivated on plantations specifically for commercial purposes.

Using the large boards that the Mahogany tree is able to produce, furniture makers can create desks, tables and many other examples of furniture without seams or join lines. Mahogany is also relatively easy to work with as it is incredibly strong, easy to sand and to cut cleanly. Due to the solid durable nature of the wood, Mahogany furniture is often passed through many generations of families. To maintain the natural look of the wood, coats of furniture wax can be applied three or four times a year. This will enhance the natural grain and help nourish the wood to ensure longevity.

If concerned about purchasing an item made from Mahogany due to any possible environmental impact, look for products certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). They are an independent non profit agency concerned with responsible forestry. Purchasing wood with the FSC stamp of approval could provide years of enjoyment from a solid wood item along with piece of mind that future availability of the wood is being protected.
