Mahogany We keep two sizes of mahogany in stock, and can easily order a variety of different profiles and styles to suit your needs. What we stock are a 1 x 4 and a 5/4 x 6 meranti mahogany. -1 x 4 Mahogany: We stock a square edge and a tongue and groove 1 x 4 mahogany. It is a good choice for farmer's porches or decks, as mahogany is very weather resistant, thanks to its heavy, tight grain. The 1 x 4 has a slim profile, yet is a very strong species of timber. -5/4 x 6: We have recently begun stocking the 5/4 x 6 mahogany, and it has become a popular option for new decks. It has the thicker profile and is very durable. It is a fine grade of wood, lacking knots and possessing a beautiful straight grain. It is very important to note that the ends of mahogany boards are usually waxed. This helps keep moisture from travelling up the fibers of the wood and causing undue checking. |
