Red Mahagony 225


Who would have thought that mahogany wood would look so good with a mahogany stain.  The builder of these fine tenders had instructed me to sand all the mahogany trim as needed and blending all the intersections while easing all the edges.  Then use a red mahogany stain.  Just brush it on and wipe it off again.  It made a huge difference in blending in all the light and dark spots on the wood and brought out some of the previously unseen grain.  I was very happy with the product of a weekends sanding and then staining.  This week it is onto the many steps of varnish that will seal and protect the wood from the ravages of nature.
