Model Making Materials

Mahogany sheets

Mahogany is a medium to dark reddish-brown wood with fairly fine texture. Wood workers & model makers can use these sheets for a wide variety of design & build projects.

• Sheet size: 100 x 915mm
• Sheet thickness: various (see drop down box).
• The grain can sometimes be wavy and colour tone may vary piece-to-piece.
• Use a wood glue to adhere. Remove any wood glue seeping out of the joints quickly with a damp cloth, since leaving it will change the colour of the wood.
• Danish oil will bring out the beauty in the wood.
• If you need to paint the mahogany, use a primer first.
• Plantation grown, FSC & PEFC certified.
• These sheets can be cut to your artwork in our Laser Department

If you wish to finish the mahogany with a gloss or satin varnish, we recommend using a sanding sealer first.

This will minimise absorption of the varnish into the wood, thereby maximising the effect of the gloss or satin finish.

PLEASE NOTE: Colour tones differ from batch to batch so these images are just a representation of the product.
