Additional Information: Sapele is a large deciduous tree that grows in tropical Africa. The wood is reddish-brown and is used for flooring and musical instruments. Sapele can sometimes become quilted. The quilted wood looks like small 3-d pillows and is an extremely rare and precious wood. Part of the reason for its scarcity is that it is almost all being sold to veneer manufactures who pay more and have thus cornered the market. Quilted Sapele is often flat sawn and allows the beautiful pillow-like figure to be showcased to maximum effect. The Quilted Sapele I use came from West Africa.

Birdseye Maple occurs when the grain in a maple tree becomes radically deformed because of some stress or damage and made small birdseye knots and swirly figure. The Birdseye Maple I use came from a saw mill in South-Central Pennsylvania. This particular saw mill owner collects unique primo one-of-a-kind pieces of wild looking woods for me.
