The Lost Isles update introduced all sorts of flora and fauna to LEGO Fortnite, and the Mahogany is one of the most useful resources it added to the game. Mahogany trees are distinct, widespread, and don't take a lot to chop down. On top of this, they give you a range of items you can make that are entirely in keeping with the nautical theme.

Once you obtain some Mahogany in LEGO Fortnite, various crafting options will become available. This ranges from a few offensive weapons that do decent damage to some rarer defensive gear that will protect you from the heaviest of blows. Below, we'll tell you where you can easily find Mahogany trees and recipes that include Mahogany Rods.

How to Find Mahogany in LEGO Fortnite

Mahogany trees are quite distinct with their interconnecting branches, so once players become acquainted with them, they'll be able to easily spot them from afar. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding Mahogany trees in LEGO Fortnite, as they're located everywhere on the Lost Isles, except for the beach biome.

To chop down a Mahogany Tree, gamers only need to get themselves a Common Forest Axe.

Upon returning to your base with some Mahogany, you'll want to refine it at a Lumber Mill so you can turn it into Mahogany Rods. These can then be used in various recipes to make at your crafting bench, and there are plenty of options to choose from.

Explorer's Machete might not do a lot of damage but it's a fast-acting weapon that can cut down weaker enemies with ease. Throwing Spears are a cheaper alternative that requires only a few resources to make. However, they're not quite as good as the two guns: the Flint-Knock Pistol and the Pirate Musket.
