Sapele – Premium African Hardwood Turning Blank
Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum) is a highly regarded African hardwood known for its rich reddish-brown color, shimmering ribbon figure, and excellent workability. Often compared to genuine mahogany, Sapele offers deeper color, more dramatic grain, and exceptional stability—making it a favorite among woodturners and fine woodworkers.
This premium Sapele turning blank features a medium to fine texture with interlocked grain that produces striking chatoyance when finished. It turns smoothly with sharp tools, holds crisp detail, and sands to a refined surface that polishes beautifully. The natural luster of Sapele enhances depth and contrast, creating a sophisticated, high-end appearance.
Ideal for pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, bowls, boxes, instrument components, and furniture accents, Sapele balances strength, durability, and ease of machining. Its reliable performance and elegant figure make it suitable for both beginner and professional makers seeking consistent results with a premium look.
