Sapele

Sapele veneer is a type of wood veneer sourced from the sapele tree (Entandrophragma cylindricum), which is native to tropical Africa. It is highly valued for its rich appearance and versatile properties. Sapele veneer features a warm, reddish-brown color with a distinctive, interlocking grain pattern that can resemble mahogany. The veneer can range from light to dark shades, and its grain often includes a beautiful, three-dimensional effect called "chatoyancy," which gives the surface a dynamic, lustrous quality.

Sapele veneer is prized for its workability and durability. The wood is relatively easy to machine, stain, and finish, allowing for a wide range of design possibilities. Its dense, medium-hard texture makes it resistant to wear and suitable for high-traffic areas, such as furniture, cabinetry, and decorative panels. Sapele’s stability and strength also contribute to its performance in various applications, providing both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits.
