Honduran Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is also known as Tropical Mahogany, South American Mahogany, Caoba and Chiculte. It is planted throughout the whole of the tropics as a sustainable forest crop, and is widely available. It has a short grain which grows in a swirling pattern. The shortness of the grain makes it perfect for carving, turning, and other woodworking. It cuts beautifully without chipping, works a lot like Walnut, being approximately the same weight as Walnut. It sands, glues and finishes well. There are few woods as beautiful or as pleasant to work. Common uses for Honduran Mahogany include furniture, cabinetry, turned objects, veneers, musical instruments, boatbuilding, and carving.
