It is so called because of its visual and mechanical properties resemblance to American mahogany. Its use has become so widespread that we can find models of all major brands where this wood is used to replace its South American counterpart.

It's easy to work, whether we are talking about sawing, planing, gluing, staining, etc., although sometimes we find a certain repellence due to its interlocked grain.
