Technically, mahogany is a hardwood. Not because of its density, but because of the type of seed it produces.
Hardwood trees produce seeds with some type of shell, like a walnut, apple, or oak (acorn). Softwood seeds have no shell (and are often in cones), such as pine, fir, or cedar. Generally but not always, hardwood trees are deciduous (lose their leaves seasonally), while softwood trees are evergreen.
The term "bastard mahogany" is sometimes used to refer to timbers that resemble mahogany but are not genuine mahogany species. It may also refer to the lower-quality or less-desirable mahogany variants. Buyers should be cautious and ensure they are getting genuine mahogany if that is what they desire.
The name Mahogany refers to a type of tropical hardwood tree with reddish-brown wood that is valued for its beauty and durability. It is often used in furniture making and cabinetry for its high quality and rich color.
