After reading thread about african padauk, now, I wonder how to work with
african mahogany.

Nuthin' special as I recall. I found it easy to work, less prone to
splintering that the padauk. Dust not especially irritating. The only thing
that annoyed me about padauk was the fine red dust that covered everything
in the shop for years...
