Why Choose Mahogany African?

Experience the timeless allure of classic Mahogany with a wood that captivates the senses with rich color and striking grain. It's exceptionally durable and relatively hard, it handles beautifully, with a brilliant luster that transforms under polish. While its surface may initially have a woolly finish after sanding, this only adds to the anticipation, as the final result reveals a smooth, gleaming masterpiece. 

These real wood veneer sheets are composed of premium sliced hardwoods that are spliced along the edges to make the full width; splicing is also done in a book matched pattern that's attractive and helps hide the splicing seam. The sheets use full-length slices so there are no splices to make the length. The 10 mil (10 thousandths) thickness paper backing allows the sheet to bend, flex, and work with curves and shapes without splitting. Apply paper back veneers with contact adhesive to make panels of large projects: conference tables, desks, doors, cabinet doors, coffee tables, etc.

Magnificent Mahogany
Excellent product - matched the picture and description. Easy to work and took a stain beautifully. Excellent pricing, also. Craig and staff rushed out order for me at no extra charge for me to meet my deadline. Many Thanks! Would highly recommend them and I will be using them again. On a side, after viewing a photo of your staff, i have to say you only have 106 good looking lumber pickers -sorry #107.

Agreed, #107 could stand to pluck his eyebrows and shave off a few holiday pounds.
