Sapele is an attractive and versatile hardwood known for its rich reddish-brown color, distinctive interlocked grain, and natural luster. Often compared visually to mahogany, Sapele can display beautiful ribbon-like figure, particularly on quartersawn surfaces. Surfaced on three sides to 13/16", this lumber provides a smooth, consistent starting point for furniture, cabinetry, millwork, and a wide range of woodworking projects.

Species: Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum)
Grain: Typically interlocked, with a fine to medium texture and attractive natural luster; quartersawn surfaces can display pronounced ribbon-like figure
Color: Golden to medium reddish brown, typically darkening and developing richer tones with age
Applications: Furniture, shelving, tabletops, cabinetry, millwork, boxes, game boards, decorative accents, musical instruments, and specialty woodworking
Workability: Machines, sands, glues, and finishes well overall. Its interlocked grain can be prone to tearout, so sharp tools and careful machining are recommended. Clear finishes beautifully enhance its warm color, natural luster, and distinctive grain.

Sapele combines rich color, attractive figure, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for both traditional and contemporary woodworking. The S3S surface preparation reduces milling time while leaving one rough edge for final sizing to your project's requirements.
