I asked my supplier and showed me samples on African Mahogany. Danish oil
has varnish in it and it takes 3 coats, 12 hours between coats. Sanded down
to 320 and third one applied with #000000 steel wool and ribbed off 3 times
every 10 minutes !

It's not what it's written on the container but they assured me that it
gives the best results, and based on what I saw, it's really outstanding.
So, I've been back at sanding ;(

I personally don't like Tung Oil on Af Mahogany. I used Af Mah to restore
a
sail boat and loved the look of the wood finished with a Spar. I liked
the
color so much I used the same wood to build my Bedroom set. It's great to
work with.

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

african mahogany.

Glue, dust, etc... ?

Nothing special as far as glue and dust go, the only issue I had with
it was that I used Tung oil on it, and if you don't really soak the
wood well, it fades to a light yellow/brown within a couple of days.
Get it soaked good, and it really keeps it's color pretty well. Nice
looking wood, and easy to work.
