Mahogany
The Mahogany tree (Swietenia species) is a majestic hardwood native to tropical regions of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Renowned for its straight-grained, reddish-brown timber, mahogany is prized for its beauty, strength, and workability. The tree can grow up to 150 feet tall and is valued not only for its wood but also for its ecological contributions, providing habitat and shade in tropical forests. Due to overharvesting and deforestation, some mahogany species, like Swietenia macrophylla (Honduran mahogany), are now protected under international conservation agreements to ensure sustainable use.
Created from Mahogany, this design embodies the universal symbol of reliability and aspirational light. The Northern Star has long been viewed by various cultures as a link between the earthly and the divine. For many Native American tribes, it represented a guiding spirit or ancestor, leading them toward safety and enlightenment. Its unwavering presence in the night sky serves as a reminder that, even in difficult times, there is always something constant and reliable to guide us.
