African Mahogany (Khaya nyasica) is the only timber widely accepted as mahogany besides that of the true mahogany, of the genus Swietenia.
Mahogany has a generally straight grain and is usually free of voids and pockets. It has a reddish-brown color, which darkens over time, and displays a beautiful reddish sheen when polished. It has excellent workability, and is very durable.
