Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum). Found in Tropical Africa. The hardness comes in at 1360 on the Janka hardness scale.
Grain is interlocked, and sometimes wavy. Fine uniform texture and good natural luster.
Heartwood is a golden to dark reddish brown. Color tends to darken with age. Besides the common ribbon pattern seen on quartersawn boards, sapele is also known for a wide variety of other figured grain patterns, such as: pommele, quilted, mottled, wavy, beeswing, and fiddleback.
Stocked in 4/4, for thicker dimensions contact me.
