Sapele gets used for all types of woodworking including furniture, cabinet making, instrument making, and woodturning. This rot resistant wood is also a great choice for exterior applications. When finishing Sapele, you may want to consider a durable hardwax-oil finish such as Osmo Polyx-Oil. An oil finish would especially accentuate figured Sapele which we are lucky to source on occasion.

We will provide you with a 1/4" thick x 3" wide or 4-3/4" wide x 24" long, high quality thin board! These boards are flat, straight, and ready for sanding.
Working with Thin Lumber
4" and wider thins are resawn from a board thick enough to produce 2 pieces and then planed down to a finished thickness of 1/4". This milling process releases tensions in the board and may well induce slight cupping and/or bowing in the finished piece. These movements are normal and not considered "defects". They will not be grounds for a return or refund.

Unfortunately I have not looked at it or used it yet.
I’ve been so impressed at the quality I’ve been receiving.
Very nice wood. Looking forward to seeing how it looks with a finish.
Prompt shipping. Well packaged. Happy customer!
Laser cuts through it clean and the colour is great
This batch did not cut out well with my laser, lost quarter of almost every sheet, plenty of waste
