Quilted Sapele is known for its deeply undulating grain that creates a striking three-dimensional appearance. With a density of 650 kg/m³, it offers both aesthetic appeal and reliable workability for turning and carving.
Native to Central Africa and botanically classified as Entandrophragma cylindricum, it turns smoothly and polishes beautifully. Its interlocked grain, which produces the quilted effect, requires some care in carving to avoid grain tear-out. It’s ideal for elegant bowls, decorative panels, sculpted handles or bold carved forms. Find precision gouges, fine abrasives and neutral oils in our store to bring out its full potential.
