구할 수만 있다면 혼두라스 마호가니가 더 좋지요.
혼두라스 마호가니는 오렌지색을 띄며, 더 밀도가 고르고 높아서 음향목으로 최적입니다. 하지만 남벌하는 바람에 현재는 보호수종이라 매년 생산량이 극히 제한적이어서, 기타에 사용할 만큼 넓고 악기용으로 자른 목재는 가격이 높아서 200~300만원대 기타에만 사용되고 있습니다.
아프리칸 마호가니는 핑크빛 인도네시아 마호가니는 연갈색 색상을 띄는데, 이 둘다 원래는 밀도가 낮아서 주로 가구용으로 사용하다가 현재는 혼두라스 마호가니 대신에 음향목으로도 사용하고 있습니다. 이 둘 중에서는 아프리칸 마호가니가 조금 더 음향목에 알맞구요. 인도네시아 마호가니는 보다 저렴합니다.

1. Appearance
Honduran Mahogany has a coloring that’s closer to orange than its African counterpart; African Mahogany is lighter in color, projecting a more pinkish hue. While Honduran Mahogany is known for its fine, straight grain, African Mahogany enjoys more variety in graining: Bee’s Wing, Ribboned, and Ropey patterns distinguish this wood from any of its counterparts. An additional characteristic that sets African Mahogany apart is its chatoyant luster, which makes the wood appear to have different coloring, as it is moved.
2. Durability
Both Honduran and African Mahoganies are resistant to termites; however, African Mahogany does not have the same resistance to beetles that its Honduran cousin does. Both woods also offer rot resistance that comes with their high density; however, Honduran Mahogany is denser than the African variety.
3. Workability
Long favored by furniture craftsman, the dense Honduran Mahogany performs famously in response to both carving and machining. Add to that stability during drying and responsiveness to finishing, and this wood’s popularity is easily understood. African Mahogany is used for furniture, as well, and boasts similar responsiveness to cutting and finishing techniques. Both woods have tonal qualities, making them ideal for use in musical instruments, such as guitars. Additional applications of both woods include plywood, interior trim, cabinetry, fixtures, paneling, and interior flooring.
4. Affordability
The more durable Honduran Mahogany might already be more pricey than African Mahogany, but the disparity has been broadened in recent years, due to political interference in the form of CITES’ listing Genuine Mahogany in a list of endangered species of wild fauna and flora. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species made this addition in 2003, making even areas where Genuine Mahogany can be legally harvested often less profitable for loggers. The resulting decreased supply has clashed with the demand, making the price formidably rise.
