mahogany trees

Reddish furniture timber

Mahogany trees are tropical hardwoods prized for their reddish-brown timber, used in fine furniture and cabinetry.

The term covers several species native to the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

Mahogany grows slowly, making genuine specimens increasingly rare and expensive.
