Wood Handbook
Wood as an engineering material. General Technical Report 113.
Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 463 p., p. 1-25
Mahogany
The name mahogany is presently applied to several distinct
kinds of commercial wood. The original mahogany wood,
produced by Swietenia mahagoni, came from the American
West Indies. This was the premier wood for fine furniture
cabinet work and shipbuilding in Europe as early as the
1600s. Because the good reputation associated with the name
mahogany is based on this wood, American mahogany is
sometimes referred to as true mahogany. A related African
wood, of the genus Khaya, has long been marketed as
?African mahogany? and is used for much the same purposes
as American mahogany because of its similar properties and
overall appearance. A third kind of wood called mahogany,
and the one most commonly encountered in the market, is
?Philippine mahogany.? This name is applied to a group of
Asian woods belonging to the genus Shorea. In this chapter,
information on the ?Philippine mahoganies? is given under
lauan and meranti groups.

Ciao ed al prossimo "duello" .... magari sul sesso della batteria e relative implicazioni psicologiche sul/la batterista...
