The appearance and properties of mahogany wood depend on its growing conditions. Sawn mahogany has a pink to red-brown color when exposed to light. A true color difference between sapwood and heartwood cannot always be discerned. Mahogany is easy to machine. For nails and screws, pre-drilled holes are recommended. The surface treatment of mahogany often requires pre-treatment measures, which is very time-consuming. In addition, the drying of wood requires a lot of time.
