Why Choose Genuine Mahogany?

Elevate your woodworking with the luxurious, reddish-brown hues and fine, straight grain of genuine mahogany. Effortless to machine, carve, and sand, plus it’s ideal for heirloom-quality furniture and gorgeous accent projects.

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.

Had to return it - doesn't come close to lumber
I ordered this with the mahogany lumber they had on sale. Even though I knew it wasn't from the same source, I expected a mahogany look like I saw at a Woodcraft, a local lumber supplier, and samples from a veneer supplier. I was also told it was consistent with the lumber. I had to return it because it didn't resemble mahogany in my opinion. Also, it had a different color base from the lumber. The stuff I saw locally was much closer.
Familiarity: I've used it in several projects

It makes the cut
I ordered this product to cover the plywood panels on the back of built-in bookcases. It arrived in a in a cardboard container with no obvious damage. When I unrolled it to apply to the plywood panels I found one sheet had an eight inch cut along the face of the veneer near one edge. I didn't use a knife to open the package so the cut was there when it was packaged. Fortunately it was less than in inch beyond where I needed to trim it so I was able to use it as it. Otherwise I would recommend this product. It finished nicely and provides the look I was trying to achieve.
