MAHOGANY

Mahogany is a light hard wood from trees of the family Meliaceae, that was first introduced to Britain as ballast cargo from Cuba and Central America and became popular for making furniture during the 18th century. Mahogany is valuable as it shrinks very little when it dries, and suffers very little from warping or twisting.
