Genuine Mahogany Stays Friendly to Precision Fits

Genuine Mahogany has low shrinkage, good dimensional stability and excellent machining qualities. Once properly dried and acclimated, it is less prone to dramatic seasonal movement than many commonly used hardwoods.

Practical takeaway: Genuine Mahogany is well suited to lidded boxes, threaded pieces and mating components. Acclimate the blank before turning, then make the final fit with sharp tools and light cuts.
