2 different woods in nature. Go to the manufacture/supplier for moer details. And install info, otherwise we are guessing on glue or stable. Also depends on what you are installing on, light weight concrete, then my guess is glue, regular wood product sub flooring, nail/stable. |

For manufactured flooring “mahogany walnut” is a fancy name for BROWN! M -- Madmark - [email protected] Wiretreefarm.com |

Super special kinda wood. Its the hybrid spawn of a mahogany and walnut tree. I say spawn but more like when they grow together and their grain intermingles. Know what I mean? -- Shooting down the walls of heartache. Bang bang. I am. The warrior. |

I’ve looked at more than my fair share of wood flooring for sale. What I think the manufacturer is trying to say is that it’s mahogany stained to a walnut color. WHY you would want to do this is an entirely different question. |

I think the “Mahogany Walnut Handscraped” means it is Mahogany wood with walnut stain that has been scraped rather than sanded ! -- "My mission in life - make everyone smile !" |

I Can see 2 dent lines in each piece about an inch wide at every inch …...... I personally would not install this in my outhouse -- Tony---- Reinholds,Pa.------ REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE FUN :<)) |

The two dents are the bottom – stress relief grooves. They ghost up to the top side so is still no good. M -- Madmark - [email protected] Wiretreefarm.com |

nightguy says things in an abrasive way but he’s right … look it up. Mahogany – Walnut takes the understated elegance of mahogany and adds to its beauty with a rich walnut stain. The wavy grain pattern enhances the exotic look, ... blah, blah, blah, lots of marketing speak -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

I think we are seeing the “hand scraped” surface treatment, not dents or the bottom grooves “ghosting” or “telegraphing” through—adds “texture’ while hiding discrepancies. Currently pretty popular. I agree that the NAME “mahogany walnut” does not identify a specie, but a color/finish -- Jerry, making sawdust professionally since 1976 |

Wrong, it is the bottom grooves ghosting up, too consistent to be the hand scraping, and if that is hand scraping, my butt, it would have been by a machine. The product is JUNK!!!! |
