S4S 2x8 Mahogany (Sapele) Board

DESCRIPTION	Reddish brown in color. Overall a very uniformly colored wood. Very similar in appearance and workability to mahogany. The wood displays a beautiful chatoyance. The grain will shift as your perspective changes. Occasional quilted, curly and or mottled figure can be present. A significant up charge is typical for figured material. Material is often sorted for “ribbon stripe” which would consist of the quarter and rift sawn boards a moderate up charge for the “ribbon” material. Sapele is pleasantly fragrant when cut.
INDIGENOUS HABITAT	Tropical Africa
BOTANICAL NAME	Entandrophragma cylindricum
OTHER NAMES	Sapele, Sapelli, Sapeli
WORKING PROPERTIES	It's highly recommended to be patient and work slow if machining Sapele because of its interlocked grain. Working with a beautiful wood like Sapele will yield amazing pieces, but it does have a blunting effect on blades and drill bits. Sapele finishes and glues very well but can become discolored and stained if it's in direct contact with iron.
USES	Sapele is a type of African Mahogany used for boats, fine furniture, and cabinetry.
COMMENTS	Color is similar to South American Mahogany (Sweitenia Mahogoni) and also to African Mahogany (Khaya Ivorensis). We have a great supply of Sapele lumber. Call for pricing and availability. 1-877-232-3915
