Often call Khaya - the heartwood colour is quite variable and ranges from pale pink to a deep reddish brown. Its colour tends to darken with age and the quarter-sawn surfaces display a gorgeous ribbon-stipe figure.
This wood has a whole range of uses that include interior trim, furniture, boat building, turning, veneer, and plywood. African Mahogany can display some striking chatoyance that makes the wood surface look like it moves and dances.

Working with Thin Lumber
4" and wider thins are resawn from a board thick enough to produce 2 pieces and then planed down to a finished thickness of 1/4". This milling process releases tensions in the board and may well induce slight cupping and/or bowing in the finished piece. These movements are normal and not considered "defects". They will not be grounds for a return or refund.

the wood was excellent and the service exceptional. I had a delivery problem and it was solved 10 minutes after sending an e-mail
Beautiful wood without a doubt but I wasn't prepared for how splintery it would be. Had to do more sanding on the pieces I made with it than I wanted. Still ended up nice.
I ordered 2 20 bf packs of butternut and mahogany. The order arrived in two business days. The wood selected on my behalf was excellent.
Prompt shipping. Well packaged. Happy customer!
Laser cuts through it clean and the colour is great
This batch did not cut out well with my laser, lost quarter of almost every sheet, plenty of waste
