Yes, Meranti is a hard wood which hails from the Philippines and other eastern tropical type areas. It has similar characteristics and appearance to Mahogany but is much cheaper and more readily available. It works and finishes nicely and is a good choice for all manner of joinery, cabinet making and a myriad of other uses.
