Mahogany’s Beauty and Durability Makes it Ideal For Deck Construction
After completing my home tours I went out and researched Mahogany further. First, there are several species and colors of Mahogany, supplied by various countries around the world. Not all are the same, however. It is the species known as American Mahogany that has the rich red color that I had observed. American Mahogany comes from the West Indies, Mexico, unique resin wicker outdoor furniture and Central and South America. It is generally viewed as a harder wood that is extremely durable and resistance to moisture and insects. Also, because it is a hard wood it has a tenancy to not split, twist or check. So be sure to ask about the species, prior to buying Mahogany.
