Sapele is Stocked in Various Widths and Lengths

Sapele is an African hardwood and its grain and texture is sometimes confused with mahogany. We sell both Sapele lumber and veneered plywood. It is occasionally used as a substitute for Genuine Mahogany . We stock both Flatsawn and Quartersawn cut depending on you application and design preference.  Sapele is used for boat building, furniture, cabinetry and trim work.
