Mahogony Iti Urns
A memorial for your Pet.
This pet urn is handcrafted from the richly coloured mahogony tree. The name
mahogany emanated form the island of Jamaica after the English occupation in
1655. Members of the Nigerian Yoruba tribe brought to Jamaica as slaves who
were familiar with the name for African Mahogany "(aganwo" (meaning "King of
the Timber") would logically have used the expression "M'Oganwo" for a
Jamaican tree which closely resembled the trees of their Nigerian homeland and
after variable usage, the name finally emerged in 1700. The origins of the
two main species from Central and South America are a source of interest.
There are no mahogany forests. The tree is scattered here and there and a good
"stand" might be an average of two trees to the acre. Mahogany is a light to
deep red/brown straight to interlocked coarse to medium cross grain and a
heavy timber.
