Why African Mahogony? 

African mahogany hardwood is an evergreen tree native to Africa. It is found throughout the central equatorial region from Sudan and Uganda in the east to Senegal, Sierra Leone and Gambia in the west. African mahogany plantations have been established in Australia, Cuba, India, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Africa and Vietnam. Well known as a luxury timber, African mahogany is in high demand in established international markets. It is used for high-grade furniture, interior windows and doors, and external joinery, including timber decking and boat building and fittings. As the worldwide supply of luxury timber from native forests diminishes, supply from plantations is becoming a viable alternative. 

Establishment of Khaya senegalensis, or African mahogany, plantations at M’Oganwo by the previous owners began in the wet seasons of 2005- 06 and continued through 2006-07 and 2007-08. FEA’s first plantings will occur in early 2010.
