Sapele : an exotic wood
5 July 2021Sapele is a semi-hard African wood. Its good stability makes it a good choice for all woodworking pieces.


The hearwood of this exotic wood is a medium to dark reddish brown or purplish brown and has a cedar-like scent. Color darkens with age so it will still surprise and stun you with the years.

It’s a noble specie that goes along very well with darker species or with lighter decor.


The color is warm and rich like no other! See our projects for more ideas!
