0.6mm Sapeli Mahagoni

Mahogany is a very well-known precious wood from Africa. It grows in many different areas, as do the subspecies of this plant. Mahogany wood, which is traded under the name Sapeli, comes from trees of the species Entandrophragma cylindricum, which grow in tropical West and Central Africa.
It has many uses. Mahogany wood is very popular for furniture, paneling, interior design, door construction, parquet flooring, musical instrument making, as construction timber, and, due to its moisture resistance, also in boat building.
Sapeli has a typical reddish-brown to copper-colored heartwood, which darkens quickly. It has a slight sheen. It has a floral pattern, also known as fladering by carpenters, or a striped pattern with a partially irregular grain. Bars and pommel patterns may also appear in the veneer, which visually accentuate the wood. (See Sapeli Pommele)
Despite its hardness, Sapeli is easy to machine, although the irregular grain pattern must be taken into account. Drying must be carried out very slowly and carefully to prevent the wood from warping.
