Constructed from high quality furniture grade Sapele in an end grain design. Sapele ranges in color from a medium to a dark reddish- or purplish-brown. A remarkable feature of Sapele is that the grain is interlocked and changes direction in frequent, irregular intervals. Before WWI the principal demand for this wood came from Germany where it was used for decorative cabinet work. Interestingly enough, Sapele was found in the propeller-blades of German Zeppelins. Sapele is a large African tree.
