Description:	African mahogany is becoming much more popular now due the large price increases in genuine mahogany. It has a very similar color and graining but it is not as stable. The trees can grow to be quite large so it is possible to find wide long clear boards. From a sustainability standpoint, African mahogany grows in good rich ground that is not nearly as delicate as the Amazon basin.
