Description
Cuban Mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni) is one of the most revered and historically significant hardwoods, known for its deep, reddish-brown hue, fine texture, and exceptional workability. As the original “genuine mahogany,” it has been prized for centuries in high-end furniture, boatbuilding, and fine cabinetry. Over time, its colour deepens to a rich, warm patina, enhancing its timeless appeal.
Renowned for its stability, strength, and ease of machining, Cuban Mahogany is ideal for detailed carving, turning, and fine finishing. It polishes beautifully to a smooth, lustrous surface, highlighting its elegant grain and subtle figuring. Its resistance to decay and excellent durability also make it suitable for marine applications.
Due to its rarity and historical overharvesting, Cuban Mahogany is now available only in limited quantities from sustainable sources. Each piece is unique, with natural variations in grain and colour.
With its legendary status, luxurious appearance, and outstanding working properties, Cuban Mahogany remains one of the most coveted hardwoods for fine woodworking and restoration projects.
