Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Identification of True Mahogany, Certain So-Called Mahoganies, and Some Common Substitutes The color of true mahogany varies from very pale to very dark reddish-brown. The wood is without characteristic odor or taste. True mahogany usually has interlocked grain, which gives the ribbon effect to quarter-sawed material. Unlike most other woods with interlocked grain, it does not warp easily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
