What Is Mahogany?

Mahogany is a beautiful hardwood that can be found in many places around the world and usually grows from southern Mexico to Brazil. The grain in mahogany is usually straight, but sometimes it can be wavy and even curly and the texture is uniform, ranging from fine to coarse. Mahogany is a very strong, sturdy wood and is very resistant to decay, so it is excellent for cabinetry and moldings, even in damp environments. The color of mahogany is usually a medium reddish brown, and the wood darkens as it ages, making it more and more beautiful over time. Read the rest of this entry »

What You Can Build with Mahogany

Because mahogany wood is such a strong and durable wood, there are many different things that can be built with it, from molding to cabinets to furniture and much more. Mahogany wood usually has a grain that is pretty straight, and you will rarely see any knots or other imperfections in it. Because the trees are so large, mahogany wood is considered to be excellent for building furniture. In fact, a lot of the finest furniture in 1700’s America was made from mahogany wood, and you will find many of these pieces still surviving today.

Even many electric guitars are built using mahogany wood, including the Gibson Les Paul. The mahogany wood produces a beautiful warm tone for the instruments, and you will often see guitar necks made from mahogany wood as well. And in addition to furniture, cabinetry, molding and musical instruments, mahogany wood is also often used to build pianos, boats, and many outdoor furnishings and decks.

What Is Mahogany Wood Lumber?

Mahogany lumber is highly prized lumber that is usually free of any imperfections, such as knots and other deformities. Mahogany wood has a uniform grain that can be either straight or wavy, and because no two trees are alike, your woodworking projects using mahogany wood will always be unique, one of a kind items.

Mahogany wood is very resistant to rotting and is ideal for outdoor furniture, decks and other woodworking items that are going to be in damp areas and it is great for many projects, because it polishes to a beautiful luster that you will be proud to show off.

What Is Mahogany Wood Bar Rail?

Bar rail, also known as bar molding, is a piece of wood that is built around a bar to make it look beautiful and finished and gives the bar a smooth and polished look. And it will hide any joinings, so that even if you build your bar yourself, the finished product will look like it was created by a professional craftsperson. Basically, bar molding does the same thing for a bar that crown molding does for a room: it adds a touch of beauty and elegance.

If you are tired of staring at the same old walls day after day, there is an easy solution that can transform a boring room into a stunning masterpiece in as little as a single weekend.

Crown molding is a decorative type of trim that lies flush along the upper portion of a room’s walls where they meet with the ceiling.  It is available in many styles that suit every kind of decor and we offer attractive pricing options as well. Installing crown molding as a weekend project is a great idea for homeowners who want to spruce up their homes, without spending a lot of money.

Types and Styles of Crown Molding

Crown molding is sold in lengths, normally by the piece.  Some types of crown molding are very inexpensive and lightweight; just keep in mind that if you go with a foam type molding substance rather than traditional wood, you will probably not be able to paint or stain it to match your current woodwork which is not ideal. This type of molding is also much less durable than the quality hardwood crown molding that we supply at Rino’s Woodworking. Read the rest of this entry »

Oak lumber is one of the most attractive and durable woods available in the United States and for that reason we’d like to give you some tips about what to look for when buying oak lumber online at Rino’s Woodworking or at our showroom. If you’re ordering online you should verify that the wood meets your standards before it’s shipped, but in general we only sell lumber that is rated FAS 1 or 2 which are the highest ratings possible. If you are purchasing wood for interior finish work or a special woodworking project, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the best wood possible. (FAS Rating)

Before we start, the first thing you need to establish is what type of project you’re undertaking. Are you looking for a beautiful wood and mostly focused on a perfect appearance or are you more interested in structural strength. This will be a guiding factor in your decisions.
