At Kayu we believe Sapele & African Mahogany are excellent woods; however, their appearances is the same as Kayu®-Dark Red Meranti Rough Sawn Lumber™. We ask why would you pay 30%-60% higher for something the average consumer can’t see and very often would prefer?
Beautiful wood for Wood Workers of all kind. Cabinets, Furniture, Boat Builders including Christ Craft Boats who used this species from 1930-1960’s until they changed to fiberglass. It is a delight to work with. Nailing with an Air Gun is excellent, Builders are amazed at the ease. A consistent lighter/medium colored wood that takes a stain well and glues up well with a density higher than Western Red Cedar and similar to Douglas Fir. Has excellent paint holding fibers; allowing oil-based or paint to be applied and readily absorbed. Perhaps, best of all, is the ease and ability to refinish if oiled or even change the color.
