Sapele Bowl Blank
Sapele Turning Blank
We will provide you with a high quality Sapele turning blank in the dimensions of your choice. Our bowl blanks have already been kiln dried and are ready to be "turned" into your next amazing project!
We can sometimes accommodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour. Some blanks may also come with waxed faces and ends.
Colour and Workability
Colour and Workability
Sapele is sometimes referred to as “White Mahogany” because of the similarities drawn between each rosy-hued, ribbon-striped wood. While the colour of this hardwood will darken overtime, the unique ribbons of grain will remain prominent for a lifetime! Originating in the tropical climates of Africa, Sapele lumber will provide you with a look unlike anything the domestic species in Canada can provide.
