Khaya ivorensis
African Mahogany (Khaya ivorensis) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 592 lbf (2633 N) and a density of about 0.52 g/cm³. It originates from africa.
With radial shrinkage of 3% and tangential shrinkage of 5% (a T/R ratio of 1.67), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 28%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
