STORY OF MAHOGANY

Everyone knows how effective and
handsome mahogany is when used for
good furniture, but few of us know
how it's value was first discovered.
ii In the latter part Of the seventeenth
century London physician had a
brother engaged in trade with the West
Indies, who on one occasion brought
home several logs Of mahogany as bal
last. The doctor was building house,
and his brother suggested that the logs
would serve for ceiling beams. Acting
on the proposal the doctor gave orders
to the workmen to make use of the. ma
hogany but their tools were not equal
to the task Of cutting the hard wood,
and the logs were put out Of the way
in corner in the garden.
Some time ,afterward the head car
penter tried to make box from the
wood, but was unsuccessful with or
binary TOOLS He told the doctor, who
was interested in the battling timber,
and ordered heavier tools to be made to
work itSwith. When this was done, and
box at last made and polished, it
was so handsome that a bureau was
made from another Of the despised
logs, and this was declared by experts
to be so superior to other furniture
making woods that the craze for ma
hogany set in. and furniture made from
ST became highly popular, the then
duchess of Buckingham fostering the
craze in the fashionable world
