A COMMENT FROM OUR CEO
"It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Everingham Suite. It is proudly named after my ancestor, Matthew James Everingham, an Australian Pioneer who arrived aboard the Scarborough in 1788. My ancestors worked with timber from the days of the early settlement. Today I carry on this family tradition and am proud to bring to you the finest grains of wood available in the world. I feel immensely proud and confident in this product. I strongly believe that while we work professionally, the quality of our environment affects the quality of our work. This furniture is not just an investment in yourself but an investment in your occupation, whatever that may be."
Mahogany Bay Chief Executive Officer Mathew Woodbury
OUR COMMITMENT:
Excellence in design and manufacture of mahogany and teak furniture using only the finest quality materials. Our expert woodworkers are guided by rigorous quality control processes as they individually machine and handcraft all of our premium furniture. .

ABOUT MAHOGANY
Swietenia or Mahogany is a genus of Meliaceae family. There are three species in this genus: * Swietenia humilis (Central America to Mexico) * Swietenia macrophylla (The mainland species.) * Swietenia mahagani (Native to Florida and the Caribbean, all but extinct.) The trees grow 20-45 meters tall (Up to almost 150 feet), with a maximum trunk diameter of 2 meters (approximately 7 feet!) The trees can live up to 350 years and are either deciduous or evergreen. The young Mahogany wood is light but if it is stained and polished will become a beautiful reddish brown. The same occurs with age. The wood is used for several applications because of it's strength and density. It has a straight grain, and a fine, even texture which accepts many kinds of stains. It is one of the hardest of the neotropical woods.
Swietenia is known as genuine mahogany because there are several other imitation mahoganies, some from Africa , others from the Philippines . Though they are often mistakenly called Mahogany, only the swietenia is truly mahogany. Swietenia macrophylla is also known as caoba, mara, mogno, big leaf mahogany, grands feuilles, Honduras mahogany, Brazilian mahogany, and araputanga to name a few. The mahogany furnishings you will be purchasing from Mahogany Bay, is from the species swietenia macrophylla. It, like the teak (tectona grandis) is plantation grown in Indonesia . The trees are planted, harvested and replanted to ensure the continuation of this sustainable resource.
OUR MAHOGANY IS THE WORLDS BEST
Mahogany Bay offers quality Mahogany furniture. The wood is harvested from the plantation grown mahogany species, swietenia macrophylla king in Indonesia, and not from forests. Mahogany is not indigenous to Indonesia, but rather the Americas, and by purchasing Mahogany from us you are assured that this wood comes from a reliable source. We take pride in the quality of the wood and also the workmanship.
CARING FOR MAHOGANY
Finished, indoor mahogany needs very little maintenance. Table wax and other furniture cleaners work well. You'll want to dust with a soft cloth every once in a while.
CARING FOR LEATHER
To clean leathers – use only a white damp cloth that is colourfast.
• Do not use detergents, solvents, abrasives, leather or suede cleaners. • Do not dry clean or machine wash. • Protect from direct sunlight and heat sources, both direct and through heating vents. • Avoid sharp objects.
Vacuum regularly with the soft brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner to remove dust and grit, then wipe with a soft, colour fast cloth dampened with plain water. This should be done as often as necessary or at least every 2-3 weeks.
