Polished Mahogany

Polishing

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection. In some materials, polishing is also able to reduce diffuse reflection to minimal values.

Mahogany

Mahogany is a straight‑grained, reddish‑brown timber produced by three tropical hardwood species of the genus Swietenia, native to the Americas and belonging to the pantropical chinaberry family, Meliaceae. The term refers specifically to wood from Swietenia macrophylla, Swietenia mahagoni, and Swietenia humilis. Of these, S. macrophylla is the most widespread and the only species widely grown commercially.
