Talk:Mahogany
From Academic Kids
Could someone clean this? There were separate entries for neem and mahogany, but they were basically the same. So i made a redirect from one to another. But i guess i did wrong: mahogany is family, neem is one of species of that family. So redirect should be removed, and something usefull added instead in mahogany szopen
OK, this is off the top of my head, so don't shoot me if I've got it wrong, but isn't "mahogany" also used as a term for the timber of a whole stack of trees, half of them unrelated to one another? It's incorrect usage, no doubt - just as the timber trade in Oz calls all sorts of things "ash" which are indisputably not ash at all but eucalypt - but we should mention that usage of "mahogany" somewhere in the article, I think. Probably the same applies to teak. Tannin 14:22 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
