Mahogany has become a kind of generic term for any one of a handful of imported, fine grain, reddish-brown wood veneers. The best mahogany, which comes from Honduras, has been over-harvested and is considered by many to be commercially extinct. Because of this, several other species are now imported from Africa and Asia. The most common is African mahogany known as Khaya, which typically has a darker and tighter grain. The veneers in this category were offered to us as "genuine mahogany" but we are uncertain of the actual species.

Crotch veneers must be bonded to the project surface with a PPR glue. No other adhesive type is suitable for this type of veneer.
