Sapele Lumber

Sapele Hardwood Lumber

Sapele is an African hardwood prized for its striking ribbon-stripe figure and rich reddish-brown color. Often compared to Mahogany in workability and appearance, it's a premium choice for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers who want visual impact without compromise.

Why Choose Sapele?

• Distinctive interlocked grain produces a shimmering ribbon-stripe figure
• Rich reddish-brown color that deepens beautifully with finish
• Excellent workability — machines, glues, and finishes well
• FAS and select grades available for clear, defect-free cuts
• Available in multiple thicknesses from 4/4 to 8/4
