0.6mm Pommele 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 grain, also known as fladering by carpenters, or a striped grain with a partially irregular grain pattern. Bars and pommelierings may also occur in the veneer.
Despite its hardness, sapele can be easily machined, 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.
Mahogany pommele is a special growth form of the wood, which results in the formation of strong, beautiful burls and interlocked grain (from the French pomme = apple), giving mahogany a unique look!
