FAQs

Are these panels solid wood or veneer?

These panels are 100% solid mahogany wood, not laminated or veneered.

What are the available dimensions?

The panels are 100mm (4") wide and available in lengths of 457mm (18") and 915mm (36"). The thickness is 0.8mm.

What does PEFC and FSC certification mean?

These certifications indicate that the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Can I use these panels for outdoor projects?

While mahogany has natural durability, these panels are best suited for indoor use. For outdoor applications, specific weather-resistant treatments and finishes would be required, and suitability would depend on exposure.

How should I finish these wood panels?

Mahogany can be finished with oils, waxes, lacquers, or varnishes. A clear finish will highlight the natural grain, while stains can alter the color. Always test your finish on a scrap piece first.

Will the 915mm panels cost more to ship?

Yes, the 915mm (36") wood panels attract the maximum postage rate, which will affect the overall shipping cost.

Are these panels pre-finished?

No, the panels are supplied unfinished and ready for your chosen treatment or finish.

Troubleshooting

Wood is warping or cupping

Ensure wood is properly acclimated to your environment before use. Use appropriate joinery techniques and consider environmental humidity control. Ensure finishes are applied to all surfaces, including the back, to equalize moisture absorption.

Difficulty in cutting or machining

Ensure your woodworking tools have sharp blades suitable for hardwood. Reduce the depth of cut per pass to avoid stressing the wood or the tool.

Uneven finish absorption

Sand the wood thoroughly with progressively finer grits. Apply a pre-stain conditioner if necessary, especially if using a stain. Ensure an even application of your chosen finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These panels are ready for immediate use in your woodworking projects. Ensure you have appropriate tools for cutting, shaping, and joining solid wood. For best results, acclimate the wood to your workshop environment for 48-72 hours before working with it.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard woodworking adhesives, screws, and joinery techniques. The 100mm width is versatile for various designs. Ensure your finishing products (oils, varnishes, paints) are suitable for hardwood.

Care: To maintain the beauty and integrity of the mahogany, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For finished surfaces, reapply protective finishes annually or as needed, depending on usage and environment. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
