PROS: Most amazing grain pattern and figuring depending on cut you choose. It has a distinctive brown to reddish-golden color that is unique to this species. Very moisture stable and would do well in hot humid climates. Medium hard, about the same as cherry.

CONS: This wood is hard to find, other woods are sold as mahogany such as luan and Santos, and they are cheaper but lack character of the true mahogany. Very expensive if you can find the real thing.
