Kiln Dried Sapele
Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum) is a popular African hardwood valued for its rich color, strength, and attractive grain. The wood ranges from golden brown to deep reddish-brown and may display subtle ribbon, stripe, or figured patterns depending on how it’s cut.
Sapele turns smoothly with sharp tools, producing clean cuts and crisp detail. Its fine to medium texture sands well and finishes to a warm, lustrous surface. When properly dried, sapele offers good stability and durability, making it suitable for both functional and decorative turning projects.
Common uses include turning blanks, bowls, spindles, vessels, furniture components, cabinetry, and decorative accents.
Please note: Kiln-dried woods may vary in thickness by up to 1/4", but will usually be only 1/8" undersized due to surfacing.
