The name mahogany is used when referring to numerous varieties of dark-colored wood, originally the wood of the species Swietenia mahagoni, "Mahoganies" may refer to the largest group of all the timbers yielded by the fifteen related species of Swietenia.

Mahogany has a generally straight grain and is usually free of voids and pockets. It has a reddish-brown color, which darkens over time, and displays a beautiful reddish sheen when polished. It has excellent workability, and is very durable.

The size of the trees meant that wide boards were once available (and still are of the non-endangered varieties).

Much of the best quality furniture made in the American colonies from the mid 1700s, when the wood first became available to American furniture makers, was made of mahogany.

Mahogany is widely used for fine furniture. Mahogany resists wood rot, which makes it suitable for boat construction. It is also often used for musical instruments, particularly the backs of guitars.
