About the Timber
Mahogany has a straight, fine, and even grain, and is relatively free of voids and pockets. Its reddish-brown colour darkens over time and displays a reddish sheen when polished. It has excellent workability and is very durable. Historically, the tree’s girth allowed for wide boards from traditional mahogany species. These properties make it a favourable wood for crafting cabinets and furniture.
Mahogany is still widely used for fine furniture; however, the over-harvesting of various mahogany, and the protests by indigenous peoples and environmental organizations from the 1980s into the 2000s, have diminished their use.
This particular piece was originally bought, by myself, to make a clock with, in the 1970s, but the clock was never used and has been stored in my shed ever since.
