We think mahogany is a super cool wood to build furniture with - it's easy to work with, and it looks absolutely fabulous with a good wood finish. Especially an oil finish that gives the wood a bold, natural color.
So check out this video. We made this table from hard white maple (the base) and genuine mahogany (top), and the combo is awesome.
We'll walk you though how to wet-sand a tung oil varnish to fill the grain and bring out the color, then how to use an ultra-simple gel polyurethane to give it a lot of protection and a nice, warm satin sheen.
