8/4 Rough Cut Mahogany Lumber

African Mahogany wood is a stunning rich exotic wood!

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. 

Although these boards have been skipped dress to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our S4S Mahogany Lumber.

Rough Cut Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.

We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough Cut Lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough Cut Lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.

For example: 4/4 x 6" x 24”

You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.

 

S4S Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.

The term “surfaced” or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.

For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”

Pretty but a little unforgiving

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.

More Butternut and Mahogany

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.
