What type of finsih would you apply to a Hondorous Mahogany deck. I was surprised when I heard that someone would construct an outside deck out of Mahogany. When I think of decking the materials that pop into my mind are Red Wood and Cedar.
Anyway, the only finish I know has any quality is Super Deck.
Any other suggestions?

Dog,
I built my deck using Mahogany and I really love it. The finsih I have used is Penofin oil which I have had to apply every year. The deck is now six years old and has gone a little grey but then doesn't everything with age. The only thing I would do different is to use a clear oil instead of the "red cedar" finish as it really has darkened the wood which on hot summer days makes it get really hot. Next summer I'm thinking about sanding the whole thing down and redoing the finsh with Penofin oil using clear this time.
I have a friend who just put some kind of glossy finish on his mahogany deck I will find out what he used but I can't make any recomendations for long gevity of it as it was just done but I will get the product name. It looks beautiful now but who knows how it will hold up over time.
