CONFUSING MAHOGANY BUYER.
More than sixty different species of timber have
been put on the market under the name of mahogany.
Many if not all of these have been used in the manu-
facture of musical instruments, notably pianos. Not
all of these are true mahogany. Some of them closely
resemble mahogany and are related to it botanically.
Others have only a general resemblance to mahogany,
but may be mistaken for that choice veneer by per-
sons unfamiliar with its characteristics, according to
Arthur Koehler, specialist in wood structure, in an
interesting report on the identification of the true and
so-called mahoganies for the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
