Sapele
Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum) is a tropical hardwood native to West and Central Africa, primarily found in countries such as Cameroon, Ghana, and the Congo. Related to mahogany, it is prized for its deep reddish-brown color and shimmering chatoyance—the ribbon-like sheen that appears as light moves across its surface.
Sapele is known to symbolize strength, sophistication, precision, and tradition.
