Sapele

Hardness: 7.0 Stability: Very Good

Coming from Africa, Sapele is growing in popularity as an elegant alternative to True Mahogany. Considerably harder than Mahogany with a fine interlocking grain and rich mid brown color with a hint of red, Sapele is an ideal choice for a more formal setting. Also available in a distinctive Ribbon grain cut, Sapele will perform well over radiant heat installations.
