Mahogany, a Hallmark of Fine Work
When Mahogany first became popular in the western world, it was exclusively sourced Central and South America, but as supply began to dwindle due to poor logging practices, manufacturers began to search for alternatives. Today we find Mahogany still as a primary species used in fine furniture making but also so much more. Mahogany is a great exterior wood option as it is much lighter weight than many of its comtemport counterparts. Its stability makes it a great option for windows and doors and the clear quality and easy workability of the species makes for outstanding millwork where find details are needed.
Mahogany is an outstanding wood to work with and has experienced recent popularity as an exterior wood, it is used extensively by window and door manufacturers due to its exceptional moisture and rot resistance. Many cabinet and furniture makers prize the wood not only for its durability, but also for its ease of machining and its deep, rich color. As it was hundreds of years ago Mahogany still remains a hallmark of fine work.
Handcrafted with Sustainably Harvested Lumber
At Estate Millwork we air dry much of our lumber, and after air drying we finish drying in low wattage dehumidification kilns.
Every piece of wood we purchase is used to the fullest on products, at Estate Millwork we have a very high yield ratio of 94 percent due to the use of automated saws and optimizing software. The remainimg 6 percent which is mostly sawdust and chips are either burned to heat our plant or send to local cattle farmers for bedding and composting.
Nothing is wasted. Some of Appalachian lumber we use comes from Amish farmers in our county who harvest with horses instead of mechanized equipment, and do our rough sawing on 1920s sawmills that are also extremely low input compared to larger commercial sawmills of today. All of our imported lumber is plantation grown, and not harvested from natural forests.
