About Mahogany
Mahogany is a straight-grained, reddish-brown timber of three tropical hardwood species of the genus Swietenia, indigenous to the Americas and part of the pantropical china berry family, Meliaceae.
Mahogany is used commercially for a wide variety of goods, due to its coloring and durable nature. It is naturally found within the Americas. The mahogany trade may have begun as early as the 16th century and flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries. In certain countries, mahogany is considered an invasive species.
