There are many Mahogany species in Africa. One used in acoustic guitar making is known as Khaya Mahogany. Khaya Mahogany is found in tropical Africa and Madagascar. Khaya Mahogany is light pink to medium brown to red brown in colour. Khaya Mahogany is superior in strength to Sapele Mahogany, another African Mahogany used in acoustic guitar building.

It has a moderately coarse texture which is sometimes interlocked, sometimes straight. Interlocked grain produces a striped figure on quartersawn surfaces (best for guitars). Like most Mahogany species Khaya Mahogany guitars are warm and clear with good balance.

The other Mahogany familiar to luthiers is Sapele Mahogany. Entandrophragma Cylindricum is found in West, Central and East African rain forests, the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Zaire and Tanzania. Sapele Mahogany timber has salmon pink heartwood and pale yellow sapwood. The pink heartwood can change to red brown with age. Sapele Mahogany wood has close texture with interlocking grain which changes in direction and can be regularly striped. Also it can have large irregular pores, interspersed with bands of small pores. Wavy grain produces very intense fiddleback or mottled figures making the appearance very 3D.  Read more...
