[Woodworkers] Mahogany

[Richard Allen]

I find that mahogany darkens fairly quickly on it’s own.  Take a scrap piece, sand it to 320 put a thin coat of finish on it and set it in the sun for a couple of weeks. You will get a good idea of how quickly mahogany darkens.  If you do stain it know that it will darken more..
