Heart Shaped, Sapele Board

A popular substitute for mahogany, sapele is an African hardwood boasting a gorgeous reddish-brown colour, along with exceptional strength and density.

Sapele has a number of uses and shares many of the same uses as its rather more expensive and historically-overexploited fellow tropical timber, mahogany: high-end joinery and cabinetry, veneers, flooring, skirting, specialty wood turning, musical instruments and even boatbuilding.
