Lyptus

Eucalyptus spp.

New Product

Lyptus is a natural hybrid of Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla. Lyptus is a new concept in high-quality hardwoods. The species is grown in Brazil in a sustainable way, using advanced environmental technology. Lyptus is grown in renewable plantations interspersed with native species forest reserves than ensure a balance between ecosystems and protection of the environment.

Lyptus is a hardwood that is stronger than Hard Maple, yet matures in about 15 years... that is about four to five times faster than Cherry or Genuine Mahogany. Lyptus sustainable managed forest assures consistent quality, supply and a pleasantly predictable price.

Lyptus is light to dark red in color with a grain that resembles Genuine Mahogany. Lyptus is an excellent choice for cabinets, doors, moulds beautifully and is great for flooring.

Magnolia, Southern

Magnolia grandiflora

Magnolia is moderately hard, fine-textured, straight grained, easy to work and is well suited to a great many purposes. In appearance it is somewhat like Yellow Poplar, but in hardness it compares with American Walnut.

Once kiln dried, Magnolia is a stable wood which stays in place well. Magnolia's end grain machines well and therefore is an excellent choice for paint grade raised panel doors and drawer fronts.

African Mahogany

Khaya ivorensis

Hogan Hardwoods International import African Mahogany directly from sawmills in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Congo and Zaire.

Ribbon Stripe

Mahogany

Ribbon Stripe Mahogany is quarter-sawn lumber. Quarter-sawn lumber is stable and the "Ribbon Stripe" is beautiful. Boat builders require quarter-sawn Mahogany, not for the beauty, but for the stability.

With more and more South American Government restrictions on the export of timber, Genuine Mahogany is increasing in price, the width and lengths have become narrower and shorter respectively and the "wooly grain" now is more prevalent in the FAS and Selects grades than in past years. Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding features African Mahogany as an economically attractive alternative. With African Mahogany, the width and length averages are superior to Genuine Mahogany.

African Mahogany is a True Tropical Mahogany, just as the Genuine Mahogany from the wide geographic range of South America and Central America. Both species are from the same botanical family. Both are true Mahoganies.

The color and workability of African Mahogany very closely resemble the performance of Genuine Mahogany and the wood finishes well.
