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.

Working with Thin Lumber
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.
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.

better than expected.
very nice mahogany matched selection all perfect condition. I am very pleased with this purchase and the shipping was very quick too.
Having used typical shop vacs from both Shopvac and Ridgid I could not believe the difference in performance, efficiency, noise level, features and dust extraction capability of the Festool CT MIDI I. After attaching the MIDI to my Milwaukee track saw, I couldn’t see any dust anywhere which was quite a departure from what I have been accustomed to. Yes, the Festool is pricey however if you value your lungs and you insist on highest level of dust extraction capability, then it is worth every single penny spent to buy one.
