Exquisite Hardwood Furniture: New Cherry and Mahogany Pieces
Posted by Mahogany Millworks by Design on 10th Feb 2020
Hardwoods like cherry and mahogany are a distinctive choice for enduring furniture. That’s why so many antiques and custom wood furnishings feature hardwood construction. Such pieces provide years of beauty and comfort when maintained properly and treated carefully. Cabinetmakers frequently utilize hardwood materials for interior woodwork like frames and joints as well.
Due to the wood’s complexity and availability of materials, solid hardwood joinery is usually more expensive—albeit stronger—than softwood. Incredibly durable and workable, mahogany has always been popular thanks to its sturdiness and exquisite beauty, and cherry is historically renowned for its impeccable beauty.

Hardwoods are ideal for heavy, solid furniture and popular for veneering. All in all, different types of wood materials lend themselves to various tasks and processes. Hardwood furniture is more expensive due to its rarity and natural look or grain. Cherry and mahogany are popular choices for solid furniture, cabinetry, flooring, furnishings, and musical instruments.
