Mahogany wood is primarily produced by trees from the Swietenia genus, particularly Swietenia macrophylla, known as the tropical mahogany. These trees are indigenous to Central and South America. Mahogany is highly prized for its durability, workability, and rich, warm color, making it a favorite for fine furniture, cabinetry, and musical instruments. The wood has excellent resistance to warping and damage, which contributes to its popularity in high-quality carpentry. Due to overharvesting, sustainable practices are now emphasized to protect mahogany resources.
