There's Something About Sapele
Ойын-сауық
Sapele is a wood from tropical Africa and you won't believe how it looks when turned and finely finished... but you have to because you can see it with your own eyes! You might need some shades...
A lovely wood to work with, it turns like butter under a sharp gouge and makes terrific shavings!
Thanks again to Kevin Gaddis for giving me this wood!!
I used Ack's products after sanding to a very nice shine, and wow...

Top, your videos are always entertaining, thank you for sharing your expertise.
What a light show the wood produces!
Wow! This is so beautiful. You are correct there are no words.
Mr. Humphrey- hope that all is well. Miss seeing your magnificent work.

Thank you Rod for another great video. Many years ago I had connections with a major lumber/timber supplier. The top class builders had a great demand for sapele, mahogany and afromosia in that order to make doors and their surrounds in that order so I have been associated with those woods for a long time. The bowl turned out just beautiful. Semper Fi.

Very beautiful piece Rod! The chatoyance in that wood is amazing. Have been avoiding a segmented piece yet, simply because I don't have the patience for the glue up. But to be able to avoid having to deal with end grain and get all side grain has me rethinking. Maybe one of these days, with the right wood...🤔 Wes @ Piedra Designs

I actually prefer it when you talk. So many wood turning channels don't talk, and it gets annoying for me. Because then it feels like I'm watching the same channel over and over. You explaining what you're doing adds to the experience and helps it feel more destinct. It adds more charm, I guess.

I had been unaware of sapele until about 5 years ago. Now it is everywhere, mostly as a replacement for mahogany. I think it used to be the poor mans mahogany but now it can be more expensive. It is quite beautiful. It turns well as you demonstrated. And the finish can be outstanding, again as you demonstrated. As mentioned by another commenter the chatoyance is brilliant. You done good Rod. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
