Finishing Mahogany: 3 Tips for Beautiful Color in Your Woodworking Projects

My table appeared too red after applying mahogany vanish how do I tone it down to achieve a brownish colour

This is some advanced next level prep. Im gonna pass this time. Stain n poly are fine for me for now.

I am refinishing mahogany on commercial property what should I use to finish it with so it can last for long time

My favorite wood finishing video, your method works great!

When you say dye, are you talking about stain?

Can you make a video on repairing high gloss solid wood furniture?

👍

Looking to use your technique with the red dye for a jewelry case for my daughter. Do you recommend a specific dye? Is it just straight red? I've never used dyes before.

Thanks for all you do for woodworkers learning the craft! I especially enjoy the information as it relates to trees around the world. 🌎

This guy really knows his stuff. Thanks for the video...

That last demonstration was stunning. I have a mahogany buffet that I'm preparing to clean up and re-finish. I'm actually pretty excited to start now -- thanks for all the info!

Thanks for the tutorial! Great info. I'm refinishing a mahogany dash on a tr6 would a polyurethane be a better top coat for weather resistance?

Finishing yang sangat indah sekali ,. Good

I think you could use the jigg more when drilling in the work bench? Drill the first row, use the al to locate the second row, then go back and do the same for the third. Now you can use the 2 holes on the top and the bottom, this way you eliminate the risk of measuring wrong between the rowes.

What about finishing previously finished mahogany?it was filled and varnished and then hard sanded

Great lesson and show, thank you.

I see a lot of other question regarding the order of your layers and how often you sand. This was my take on it after watching your video twice:
Wood filler
Sand
Red dye 3 layers, sand between
Zinnsers sealant, 3 layers sand between each
Clear lacquer three layers sand between each layer

Is that right? I’m refinishing a table. I think it’s mahogany. I wanted to look like you’re piece!!!

Hi there, I have a mahogany deck that’s seen better days, I was planning on applying a coat of sanding sealer then sanding then applying IPE oil? I’m uncertain wether or not the sealer will effect the oil? What do you guys think?

Very fine video and the results are amazing! The Zinsser seal finish you used prior to the application of lacquer is that the same product as the Zinsser universal sanding sealer? Do you sand in between coats of the sealer? How about in between coats of the lacquer? What grit do you suggest using?

Thank you

Is the aniline dye you used in the video for the last wood, a powder?

Will save this video !!!

at this point this poor guy doesn't realize he is going to lose so much hair?

It would be really helpful to show how to finish an exterior mahogany door.

thank you

You should have included Potassium Dichromate, which reacts naturally with the tannins. Gorgeous results.

These sort of no nonsense, results oriented comparisons are entertaining as well as wonderful instructional tools. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. Well done you...
Peace,

Great video.a lot of information.. wish video was a little long and more in-depth

Great video! Working on a new project-dog kennel for my Cane Corso. I will definitely look into some of your suggestions for a finished product. Thank you.

YES I DID LEARN SOMETHING

Would you recommend using the Timbermate for on a newly milled exterior raw Mahogany storm door as a grain filler, to be finished with a Spar Varnish? Also, would you recommend using Timbermate as a wood filler for hairline cracks on a White Oak entry door exterior, finished with Spar Varnish?

This is beautiful! Unfortunately, I’ve only been able to work with pine boards at the moment. 😔. Have you done any videos on staining and finishing pine? Would love a deep red mahogany look you fid here, but on pine!

I've heard good feedback about the Woodprix plans.

Wow fantastic . New subs. From Philippines

I have a problem that I am not sure what type of wood my unfinished entertainment center is made of. Just purchased it from Simply Wood here in Pensacola. They told me it was mahogany. The paint store said it looks like Parawood. It is more blonde with some reddish streaks going through it. I am in the middle of staining it a light gray because that is the color I wanted my furniture to be. I do not like red furniture. The oil base stain is not going on very well because it seems there are several soft areas in the wood and those areas either soak up the color more than other areas of they are too light. It has really been a job not trying to get random dark areas of stain that makes it look like I did not apply the stain very carefully. There also appears to be a few small areas that looks like it has a blonde wood filler in and those spots don't take up the stain very well at all. What a mess I have gotten myself into. Can you stain Mahogany with light gray and it look good? Please let me see you do that. What do I need to do?? lol I am 71 and this is not going as well as it did when I was younger lol.

Great video. I always loved the antique red mahogany look and always wondered how it was applied. So thank you

" a dozen different ways"
* points to seven pieces of wood *

all woods have their own natural beauty, including mahogany. an oil or clear finish brings out that natural color. woods come in all sorts of shades and colors, so why add another color when you can just choose a shade or color by selecting the the wood, and applying a clear finish to achieve the natural color of that wood and protecting the wood with a clear finish.
i just don’t understand why anyone wood want to change the color of any wood. this means you don’t like that type of wood. just choose a darker wood if that’s what your preference is and clear coat it.
stains are in my opinion a manufactured product just to make money.
it has nothing to do with wood, because nature has created as many shades and colors in wood that anyone could ever want.
purple heart, ebony, cocobolo, walnut...,why apply an artificial color when it already exists.

When you demonstrate the filler technique. The second mixed with the stain. What color did you use? Looks exactly what I'm looking for. Then after the filler with the stain how do you finish?

Wow...Thank you so much i learned a lot ...

Building a guitar with a mahogany body, think I'm gonna stain it instead of paint it

Sound is terrible
