Yes. Mahogany is more expensive and cannot be found in home-improvement stores. It must be purchased from lumberyards. Mahogany resists shrinking and swelling and is also used for cabinetry, boat construction, wood facing and veneers. Oak, which resists moisture, is also used for cabinetry, interior woodwork, boat framing and trimming.
