Photo is of a typical piece.

Medium reddish brown darkening with exposure. Medium textured, strong, stable, lustrous and easily wrought. A sought after timber coveted by musical instrument makers because it is medium weight and resonance, and by antique restorers and furniture makers for the classic beauty and colour when mature.

 

Honduras mahogany is CITES listed and requires special licences for export. We regret that for practical reasons we are not able to supply this item outside the UK.
