African mahogany tends to be lighter in color, generally light pink to reddish brown to tan brown. The heartwood changes from light pinkish-brown when freshly cut, to a dark reddish shade, usually with a purplish cast, upon exposure. It is highly resistant to preservative treatment.

The sapwood tends to creamy white or yellowish in color.

African mahogany has a high, golden luster and good polishing characteristics. It takes stain well.

The grain is sometimes straight but usually interlocked, commonly with swirl and crotch figures. The texture can vary but often is moderately coarse. The density is rated high.

Because it is cheaper and more abundant, and can be used in the same applications, African mahogany is often used to replace Genuine mahogany.
