More than sixty different kinds of lumber have at one time or another been put on the market as mahogany. Some of these are closely related botanically to true mahogany, while some have only the most general re- semblance and no relationship which under the most liberal interpretation would entitle them to the name. The woods now most commonly sold as mahogany in this country are true mahogany from tropical America, African mahogany and Philippine maho The Cedrelas (Spanish cedar, etc.) are rarely sold as ma- hoganies, while wood, sapell, C Ilumbian mahogany and Liberville ma- hogany are imported only in small quantities. Birch and red gum are used prin- clpally as acknowledged imitations of mahogany, but sometimes they are used in furniture sold as genuine ma- hogany. The color of true mahogany varies pale to very dark reddish 2 9 Washington’s !

The wood is without charac- teristic odor or taste. True mahog- any usually has interlocked grain, which glves the “ribbon”. effect to quarter-sawed material. Unlike most other woods with interiocked grain it does not warp easily. The pores in true mahogany are plainly visible without a hand lens as minute holes on a smoothly cut end surface, and as grooves on longitudi- nal surfaces. They are scattered singly or in short radial rows of two to four. Some of the pores are filled with a dark brown gum,.but less plentifully in the light colored soft grades than in the darker grades. Rays Very Distinet. The rays on the radial surface are very distinct. On account of both rays and wood fibers the rays may appear lighter or “darker than the surrounding areas, depending upon how the light is reflected. Actually the rays are only slightly, if any, darker than the surrounding fibers, a characteristic which helps to distin- gulsh mahogany from. crabwood, in which ~the rays are considerably darker. In some pleces of mahogany the rays are in rows or stories, ex- tending at right angles to the grain— that is, horizontally in the tree— showing up on the tangential surface as striations, or “ripple” marks, across the grain.
