Sapele
The heartwood has a medium to dark reddish-brown colour, characterised by a well-defined ribbon striped figure on quartered surfaces. Somtimes, when wavy grain is present, a very attractive fiddleback figure, roe figure or occasionally, beatuful mottled figure is obtained. The grain is interlocked or wavy and the texture is fairly fine.
Planked, Book-matched, Slip-matched - We've got you covered! 🙌
The image displayed on the left is an A4 scan obtained from a veneer leaf. Veneer leaves can be strategically arranged to achieve the desired appearance. We subsequently sew these leaves together to form a veneer layon. This layon is then pressed onto a substrate, which could be a door blank, panel, and so forth. Various matching techniques can be employed, including book matching, slip matching, randomizing (also known as Plank matching), and reverse slip matching, among others.
