One of the most popular woods for several centuries, Mahogany is a fantastic choice for cabinets, furniture, and much more. But many people don’t realize that Mahogany is available in many other forms than the usual Honduran and African, and all are in stock everyday at Oakwood. Here is some information about Silky, Plum Pudding, Ribbon, and Crotch Mahogany veneer.
Silky Mahogany Veneer: This is a golden-orange wood with yellow and brown slightly curvy stripes across the top. Silky Mahogany is somewhat similar to Crotch Mahogany (detailed below) except that it doesn't have the characteristic arc and spine figure. Like all of the
Mahogany Veneer species, Silky Mahogany is very easy to work with, and is often used in model making, auto manufacturing, cabinets, and furniture.
Plum Pudding Mahogany Veneer: This is a darker orange grain with very thin brown streaks and small brown patches amongst a pillowy and swirly figure. It is slightly rustic in character
Crotch Mahogany Veneer: This is one of the most unique of all of the veneers. The grain is generally in one large, tall arc with the spine of the arc a very dark brown and the sides multiple shades of tan to brown. Some say that it looks like a chest x ray. Oakwood only sells Crotch Mahogany with the finest figure that goes all the way to the edge.
Ribbon Mahogany Veneer: This is a nice-looking tan shade wood that usually has straight "ribbon" stripes in multiple shades of tan to brown.
Ribbon Mahogany Veneer looks somewhat similar to Sapele Veneer and in some cases can be interchangeable with it.
