GENUINE MAHOGANY The rich, fine-grained beauty of Genuine (Honduran) Mahogany fits perfectly with the quality and refinement that homeowners, architects, designers and custom builders have come to expect from Loewen. Loewen has returned to the superior character attributes of Honduran Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) Compared to African or other mahogany species, Honduran is a premium option that performs better in a wide variety of applications. www.loewen.com In our manufacturing and in our field trials Loewen has found the differences are small but significant. Honduran’s tightly interwoven grain resists splintering and also more readily accepts detailed profiling and ma- chining. Honduran Mahogany has a distinctive desirable reddish color with a more consistent col- or, is more finely grained and has higher compressive strength. In hot and humid climates Honduran Mahogany tends to be more resistant to surface fuzziness, with no raised grain issues. Honduran’s natural resistance to moisture and decay makes it an ideal species for coastal fenestration. Honduran offers improved native characteristics over other mahogany species, is more environmentally friendly and reliably available from sustainable harvest sources. All types of Mahogany are dense hardwoods with a high hardness measure (Douglas Fir 710 lbf, Mahogany 800 lbf). Mahogany offers a rich grain with a short, light swirled pattern. Initially color variations from light to dark are normal. As the wood ages, it transforms to its distinctive reddish-brown color. The small, fine pin marks are normal, adding layers of depth and character. Loewen’s all-Mahogany window construction with no veneers or surface laminates provides the lasting beauty and quality you expect from Loewen.

TREE RING CHARACTERISTICS OF 30-YEAR-OLD SWIETENIA MACROPHYLLA PLANTATION TREES Cheng-Jung Lin* Associate Researcher Department of Forest Utilization Taiwan Forestry Research Institute Taipei, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Chih-Hsin Chung Assistant Researcher Department of Forest Management Taiwan Forestry Research Institute Taipei, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Chih-Lung Cho Professor Department of Natural Resources National I-Lan University Ilan, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Te-Hsin Yang Assistant Professor Department of Forestry College of Nature Resource and Agriculture National Chung Hsing University Taichung, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] (Received October 2011) Abstract. Ring characteristics of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla K.) plantation trees grown in Taiwan were explored. Significant differences in average ring width (RW) and ring density (RD) occurred among three tree-diameter classes and three radial stages of ring numbers. RW in the radial direction decreased from the pith outward to the bark and followed a distinctive three-stage variation pattern (juvenile, transition, and mature zones). RD in the radial direction increased slowly from the pith outward to the bark. Wider tree rings and lower density are associated with juvenile wood close to the pith, whereas narrower tree rings and higher density are typical for mature wood outward toward the bark. RD in overtopped trees was higher than that in dominant trees. However, RW in dominant trees was wider than that in intermediate and overtopped trees. Earlywood density, latewood density, maximum density, and minimum density were the most important factors determining overall RD. There was a weak relationship between RW and RD, indicating that it is unlikely for growth rates of mahogany plantation trees to have a significant impact on wood density.

Chemometric Differentiation of Dipterocarpaceae Wood Species Based on Colorimetric Measurements
Philippine Journal of Science 148 (3): 473-480, September 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 22 Feb 2019 Chemometric Differentiation of Dipterocarpaceae Wood Species Based on Colorimetric Measurements Monica Gibe1, Justine M.

A simple and reliable means for the differentiation of wood species could contribute to the control of this fraud. In this study, eight (8) commercially important and endangered dipterocarp timber wood species and mahogany were differentiated through colorimetric measurements carried out on hot water and ethanol extracts from the samples. Colorimetric measurements were done using a fabricated colorimeter that measured the absorption of blue, green, and red radiation. Chemometric analysis of the colorimetric data using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) revealed clustering, which enabled an efficient differentiation of the wood species. Keywords: Dipterocarps, optical absorption, pattern recognition, wood extractives, wood species differentiation INTRODUCTION Several techniques have been applied for the determination of wood identity. Presently, the most frequently used The development of rapid and accurate methods for the method for timber identification is the visual analysis differentiation of wood species presents a challenge.

MAHOGANY TYPES South American Mahogany. ( Swietenia
MAHOGANY TYPES South American Mahogany. ( Swietenia Macrophylla) the 'top of the range' of all the Mahoganies( both as to be qualities and price). The classic characteristics of this timber are its stability and durability along with its world renowned beauty and versatility. One well recognised feature is the way in which this timber gradually darkens in colour on exposure from a red / brown colour to a rich dark red . Density : 540 kg/m3 or 34 pounds / cubic foot. African Mahogany (Khaya Ivorensis) is considered by some to be more attractive in grain structure to South American Mahogany. This is because the grain patterns of African Mahogany can vary so widely, particularly in the backsawn face. Some people prefer the startling ribbon grain appearance of quarter sawn Mahogany. The colour of this timber varies from gold through brown to red / brown. African Mahogany is more available and less expensive than South American Mahogany. Density : 540kg / m3 or 34 pounds / cubic foot. Plantation Mahogany ( Grown in Fiji) (Swietenia Macrophylla) this timber is the product of commercial plantations of the South American tree grown in Fiji. Because the timber is grown in managed plantations, branch trimmings cause a birdseye like effect on the face of the boards. Generally speaking, the characteristics are similar to the South American species described above. However the plantations lack the maturity of the South American product. One outcome is a recognisable difference in stability. Density : 540 kg / m3 or 34 pounds / cubic foot. Eastern Mahogany (Chukrassia Tabularis) this member of Mahogany family originates from Malaysia. In its colouring it more closely resembles a Walnut.
