Description

Wood is a natural resource so it is a sustainable material to use. However, both teak and mahogany are listed as endangered species. With both types of wood being popular among woodworkers, it is being over-exploited and illegally logged by some loggers. Finding alternative woods to both teak and mahogany can ensure the protection and sustainability of these endangered species. Wrap Up Recommended Fragrance Usage: Please Note: Due to the fact that our fragrances are 100% concentrated, a little goes a long way. Since our fragrances are so strong, we suggest only using 60g to 100g in 1 kilo of candle wax for a good scent throw. Brad Rauschenberg, 'Timber Available in Charleston, 1660-1820', Journal of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, XX, No. 2; Bowett (1997). John Esquemeling, The Buccanneers of America, translated from the Dutch 1684, reprinted London (1893), p. 26 While teak and mahogany are both expensive types of wood, teak is far more expensive than mahogany. But if you consider that you are dealing with wood that is going to last so long, then the price seems to justify itself somehow. Teak vs. Mahogany: Sustainability

While you may not expect wood to last forever, teak almost does. Good quality, genuine teak wood can last for up to 80 years. Mahogany has a life expectancy of nearly half of that. With wood of such a long life expectancy, you should also expect it to come quite expensive. When you first encounter the scent of teak wood, you are greeted with a rich, earthy aroma that is reminiscent of the forest. This warm, woody fragrance is both grounding and uplifting, making it a perfect choice for those looking for a natural, calming scent. In 1907 the total of mahogany from all sources imported into Europe was 159,830 tons, of which 121,743 tons were from West Africa. [40] By this time mahogany from Cuba, Haiti and other West Indian sources had become increasingly difficult to obtain in commercial sizes, and by the late 20th century Central American and even South American mahogany was heading in a similar direction. In 1975 S.humilis was placed on CITES Appendix II (a list of species that would be in danger of extinction without strict regulation) followed by S.mahagoni in 1992. The most abundant species, S.macrophylla, was placed on Appendix III in 1995 and moved to Appendix II in 2003.

We have established that teak is more durable than mahogany because of teak’s natural oils and rubber which makes it water and rot-resistant. Due to its high demand, mahogany has become an expensive variety of wood and is difficult to obtain today. Hence, we get a lot of mahogany in the form of wood veneer nowadays. It gives you the effect of mahogany but at a much lower price than using the actual solid wood. Teak vs. Mahogany: Appearance Teak has a high resistance to rot due to the high content of natural oil, making it extremely durable. It was on the endangered species list and still is in most countries. However, the governments of some nations have made it their mission to protect teak, so are tightly regulating and monitoring its cultivation and sale.

In this post, we study the finer details of teak vs. Mahogany and their advantages and disadvantages. We look into the reason that either of these woods is so recognized in woodworking. Both types of wood can look quite similar, but there are differences between the two.

Cedar wood and oak wood intertwine with warm mahogany to create the perfect masculine scent for any season. Topped with hints of clean lavender and the rosy nuances of geranium, this perfect duplication has plenty of depth and strength for both candle and skin care applications. This is a fragrance that both men and women can't get enough of. Inspired by the BBW® scent.* a b c d e f g h i Bridgewater, Samuel (2012). A Natural History of Belize: Inside the Maya Forest.

West Indian [4] or Cuban mahogany ( Swietenia mahagoni), native to southern Florida and the Caribbean, formerly dominant in the mahogany trade, but not in widespread commercial use since World War II. [1] Until the 19th century all of the mahogany was regarded as one species, although varying in quality and character according to soil and climate. In 1836 the German botanist Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini (1797–1848) identified a second species while working on specimens collected on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and named it Swietenia humilis. In 1886 a third species, Swietenia macrophylla, was named by Sir George King (1840–1909) after studying specimens of Honduras mahogany planted in the Botanic Gardens in Calcutta, India. Mahogany has a reddish brown color and it also changes its color as the wood ages. Mahogany wood changes its color when it is exposed to high temperatures and to both natural and artificial light. It does fade in the sun and it can also turn into a lighter wood that has a greyish tinge to it. Mahogany can also darken over time but is not super dark.

Mahogany teakwood has a warm and rich scent that is both sweet and spicy. The aroma is characterized by notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla, which combine to create a fragrance that is warm, comforting, and slightly sweet. Unlike other types of teak, which tend to have a more earthy and woody aroma, the scent of mahogany teakwood is more nuanced and complex. In terms of quantity, the most significant new addition to the mahogany trade was Honduras mahogany, also called 'baywood', after the Bay of Honduras. British settlers had been active in southern Yucatan since the beginning of the 18th century, despite the opposition of the Spanish, who claimed sovereignty over all of Central America. Stress relief: The warm, woody scent of teak wood has a calming effect on the mind and body, making it a great choice for reducing stress and anxiety. Whether you are lighting a teak wood candle or simply taking a deep breath in a room with teak wood furniture, you can feel the tension melt away. Until the 1760s over 90 per cent of the mahogany imported into Britain came from Jamaica. [30] Some of this was re-exported to continental Europe, but most was used by British furniture makers. Quantities of Jamaican mahogany also went to the North American colonies, but most of the wood used in American furniture came from the Bahamas. [31] This was sometimes called Providence wood, after the main port of the islands, but more often madera or maderah, which was the Bahamian name for mahogany. [32] At the same time, the 1721 Act had the effect of substantially increasing exports of mahogany from the West Indies to the British colonies in North America. Although initially regarded as a joinery wood, mahogany rapidly became the timber of choice for makers of high quality furniture in both the British Isles and the 13 colonies of North America.Mahogany grows in Central and South America and has a rich, reddish-brown color and straight, fine grain. The color, grin, and excellent workability make Mahogany a top choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry, and musical instruments. It is exceptionally durable and serves well as wood for carving as well. The deep, rich color and attractive grain structure make mahogany a much sought-after variety of timber. Mahogany’s claim to fame comes from the Chippendale furniture that became popular through an English cabinet maker by the same name in the 1700s.

The French Revolution of 1789 and the wars that followed radically changed the mahogany trade, primarily due to the progressive collapse of the French and Spanish colonial empires, which allowed British traders into areas previously closed to them. Saint Domingue became the independent republic of Haiti, and from 1808, Spanish controlled Santo Domingo and Cuba were both open to British vessels for the first time.

This wood is a true gem, cherished for its durability, natural resistance to water, rot, and insects, and its stunning golden-brown hue that deepens with time. The aroma of teak wood is complex and layered, with notes of fresh wood, spices, and a hint of resin. The fresh wood notes evoke a sense of nature, while the spicy undertones add depth and warmth. The resin notes give the scent a slightly sweet and balsamic quality, making it even more captivating. Teak and mahogany are both great choices for furniture making. Both of these hardwoods have their pros and cons and the decision of which wood to choose will lie on how you are going to use them. Here are some scents that are similar to mahogany teakwood and why we consider them similar in profile.As a fragrance expert, allow me to take you on a sensory journey to discover the captivating scent of teak wood.
