The tree is extremely widespread in Florida. Common uses: Baskets, Bent Parts, Boat building (general), Boat building, Boat building: decking, Boat building: framing, Boat building: planking, Building materials, Cabinetmaking, Canoes, Carvings, Chairs, Chests, Cooperages, Core Stock, Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Domestic flooring, Drawer sides, Drawing boards, Excelsior, Figured veneer, Fine furniture, Flooring, Food containers, Framing, Fuelwood, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, Furniture, Handles: general, Hatracks, Heavy construction, Interior construction, Interior trim, Joinery (external): ground contact, Joinery, Kitchen cabinets, Lifeboats, Light construction, Living-room suites, Millwork, Office furniture, Pallets, Paneling , Paneling, Parquet flooring, Plain veneer, Plywood, Tables , Toys, Turnery, Veneer, Veneer: decorative, Woodenware Product sources: Cuban mahogany is currently available in adequate quantities at moderate prices, but supplies are expected to decline because of very high demand.For more than two centuries Cuban or Spanish mahogany has been the most favored wood in the world for making cabinets, but its indiscriminate exploitation has severely eroded its commercial importance. The species is hard to buy; export from Cuba has been banned since 1946, and it is scarce and unavailable in commercial quantities from Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Environment profile: Widespread Tree size: Trunk diameter is 150-200 cm
Colors: the heart isYellow to golden-yellow to orange, Yellowish brownand the sapwoodWhite to yellow, Whitish.The grain isWavy, the textureMedium to coarseand the lusterPronounced

Kiln Schedules: UK=E US=T6D2/T3D1 Fr=5 Kiln Drying Rate: Drying rate is fairly rapid to fast
Drying Defects: Slight distortion, Slight surface checking Ease of Drying: Easy Tree Identification: Bole/stem form is not buttressed Comments: Exposure to sunlight may cause fading General finishing qualities are rated as good Mahogany is regarded as the most valuable timber tree in tropical America. It is believed to have been used by the European colonists as early as the sixteenth century, if not earlier. The name Mahogany is often used to refer to many species, some of which are not even mahoganies, such as the Philippine mahogany. The best of the species, which is very scarce, is reported to grow in the West IndiesTension wood may be present Blunting Effect: Slight Boring: May be some chipping & tearing when working figured wood Carving: Fairly good response to preservative treatment
