Genuine Sapele, machined in-house and planed smooth and square on all four faces. Choose your exact length, width and thickness from the menu above and we'll cut, finish and carefully package your board so it arrives ready to use straight out of the wrapping.
| ✓ | Striking ribbon figure — an interlocked grain that produces an attractive, chatoyant stripe pattern, especially on quarter-sawn boards. |
| ✓ | Rich, reddish-brown colour — a warm tone very similar to genuine Mahogany, that deepens further with age. |
| ✓ | A trusted furniture & joinery timber — widely used for furniture, doors, veneers, boat building and musical instruments. |
| ✓ | Hardwearing & stable — a dense, durable hardwood that machines and finishes to a superb, lustrous surface. |
Every board is selected from genuine Sapele and machined to order in our own workshop. We plane all four faces to leave straight, square, smooth surfaces — ready for you to oil, wax, stain or finish to taste. As with all natural timber, some colour and grain variation should be expected from board to board.

Listed sizes are nominal finished dimensions; as with all planed timber, minor variation is normal. Boards are supplied unfinished (no paint, stain or lacquer applied). Being a natural material, colour and grain vary from board to board, and the interlocked grain that gives Sapele its ribbon figure can occasionally cause slight tear-out if machined against the grain. Slight movement can occur with changes in humidity — we recommend acclimatising your board indoors before final machining. Photos are representative of the timber you'll receive.
