Brazilian Mahogany is one of the most coveted timbers in the world, prized for its rich reddish-brown tones, fine even grain, and exceptional workability. Once widely used in fine furniture and musical instruments, genuine Brazilian Mahogany has become increasingly rare due to strict protections and limited legal supply—making pieces like this highly sought after by serious woodturners.
This timber turns beautifully on the lathe, cutting cleanly with sharp tools and producing a smooth, refined surface that finishes to a deep, lustrous sheen. Its natural stability and resistance to warping make it ideal for bowls, vessels, spindles, and heirloom-quality turned objects.
Because true Brazilian Mahogany is no longer commonly available, each blank represents a unique opportunity to work with a historic and prestigious hardwood that is unlikely to be replaced once current stocks are gone.
