Mahogany Honduras Wood Veneer Information

What do you say about Swietenia Macrophylla other than it is perhaps the most valuable timber tree in the whole of Tropical Latin America. It is now widely planted throughout the whole of the tropics as a forest crop and currently provides almost all the Mahogany on the commercial market, but, that doesn't mean that while it is relatively secure in some countries that it isn't either Extinct, Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare in others. Currently the species is vulnerable in Nicaragua, Rare in Colombia, and endangered within its natural boundaries in Guatemala and seven regions of Brazil. All species of Swietenia are CITIES Appendix II listed. Appendix II species are not necessarily threatened with extinction but may become so unless trade is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival. We do currently have some plain sliced and quarter cut 1/42" and 1/10" inventory that came from pre CITIES exports. I suspect that any new stock we bring in in the future will be FSC certified.
