Sapele, crown cut: a medium to dark red-brown with a flowing cathedral figure and a fine, even texture.
Botanical name: Entandrophragma cylindricum
On the crown cut sapele shows broad cathedral arches in a rich, warm timber with a classic mahogany look. Grown in West and Central Africa.
Also held as edging. Leaves are generally available from 2500 to 3600 mm long. 3600 mm is always in short supply and needs its availability checked before it is specified. Natural timber, so it never repeats and colour and figure vary log to log: match a continuing job to the original order rather than to this page.
