African Mahogany
African Mahogany has a warmth and refinement that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces. When quartersawn or ripped at the right angle, the interlocked grain produces a ribbon-stripe figure that is one of the most sought-after patterns in woodworking. The red-brown tone deepens with age.
Pale to medium reddish-brown
