Swietenia macrophylla, is as the common name implies, Genuine Mahogany.  Hailed world wide for furniture, cabinets, boat interiors, paneling, moulding, flooring, doors and shutters.  Not only is Genuine Mahogany a beautiful wood, but the heartwood of Genuine Mahogany is an excellent exterior wood for any exterior wood requirement.

Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding directly imports a large percentage of the Genuine Mahogany we distribute.  We import air dried stock and kiln dry at custom dry kilns to the moisture content required in our geographic region.  After kiln drying, our hardwood lumber inspectors grade our Genuine Mahogany before shipments are made to our customers.

This prized species is becoming more difficult to purchase due to many South American countries' new restrictions for export of their timber as random width and length, rough lumber.  Many South American countries prefer to sell finished goods (dimensioned lumber S4S, furniture, etc) as opposed to selling "just" lumber.  These types of regulations improve the local economy by providing more jobs in their country.

At Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding, we continue to pay premiums for Genuine Mahogany.  We see narrower widths and shorter length averages than in the past and "wooly grain" appears in all grades except the Pattern Grain Stock.

We suggest you try our African Mahogany when wider widths and longer lengths are required.

New Product

Makore is purchased directly from sawmills in Ghana, Ivory Cost and Cameroun by Hogan Hardwoods International. Makore is often termed African Cherry, and the heartwood is rated as very durable.

The color is a pink-red to blood red, sometimes with streaks of darker color. The wood is dense and hard, and the silica in the wood causes blunting of cutting tools. Carbide-tipped cutting tools are essential.

White Maple Definition:

White Maple refers to the sapwood content.  The terms #1 and #2 White Maple designate the sapwood requirements of the cuttings and not the requirements of the entire face of the board (See pages 3-5 under Grading Rules).  White Maple is divided into two color grade requirements.  In #1 White Maple the entire cutting (face and back) must be 100% white.  In #2 White Maple the face and both edges must be white and the back of the cutting must be at least 50% white.  Generally, the color selections of #1 and #2 white maple are combined and sold as #1 and #2 White Maple.
