Mahogany, African

African Mahogany (Khaya spp) can be any of several woods of the genus Khaya, most commonly Khaya ivorensis. Its distribution is Tropical West, Central, and East Africa. Khaya has become known as “Mahogany” because it exhibits similar properties and overall appearance to American Mahogany (Cuban and Honduran.)

The heartwood of African Mahogany varies from light red-pink to a darker red-brown. It is a medium to coarse grained wood that is moderately resistant to decay. It glues and finishes easily, but its workability can vary depending on the piece.

African Mahogany is used for furniture and cabinetmaking,veneers, interior joinery, and boatbuilding.
