Fijian Mahogany and Chrome Twist Pen
Mahogany is a commercially important lumber prized for its beauty, durability and colour. It is used for panelling and to make furniture, boats, musical instruments and other ornamental items.
Although it's the least dense of all hardwoods, Fijian Mahogany is still extremely durable and resistant to scratching. According to the Janka Hardness Test this product is two to three times harder than cedar or redwood. It has reddish brown hues and tropical colours.
Every forest in Fiji is regulated by the Fijian government, who strictly manage the sustainability and milling process of their mahogany.
Pen #762 was turned on 28th March 2017 at Long Buckby on the Grand Union Canal.
