I have someone who is commissioning me to make several pen and pencil sets. He has given me two types of wood, from a late relative who did woodworking, to make the pens from. One is cherry (not shown) and the other was called mahogany. The wood thought to be mahogany is very green in color. I have always associated mahogany with more of a reddish color. I think the board I am cutting blanks from is quite old. Could age make the color difference, it does have a slight reddish vein here and there. Is this wood actually mahogany. I am looking for opinions. I photographed them next to some bubinga and birdseye maple just for additional color comparison.
