AFRICAN MAHOGANY STAINS
African Mahogany or Khaya grows in the tropical areas of west, central, and east Africa. The heartwood varies in color from light to deep reddish-brown. The grain is straight to interlocked, and is moderately coarse textured to medium textured. All of these characteristics can be present at the same time in the same piece of wood. These characteristics add to the exotic grain interest. The wood will darken with age and exposure to light, sometimes bringing out the underlying red tones. When quarter cut, ribbon graining is prevalent, and provides a rich, alternating light and dark striped effect.
Pacific Crest Industries takes great care in combining high quality select hardwoods with the best finishing techniques. Slight color inconsistency between the finished product and an existing sample may occur due to the inherent graining, density, and raw base color of the selected hardwood. This is not considered a defect, but merely the result of applying pigmented colors on natural woods.
