Nice looking board by the misses!
Sapele is a beautiful wood and what they built my speakers with. Scott

One milled board is 3" x 6" and 10' long. Beautiful stuff that I used to trim out my theater bar with. The poor mans Ebony but the way it framed out the Leopardwood was incredible. Wish I had better shots of it but I ride the photography short bus. Scott

my sister has some flavored salts in test tube type containers, and wanted a way to hold and display them. she called me. some back and forth, and i made this out of a chunk of wenge (very hard wood, the drill bit was smoking when i got done).
i also made the little holders for the salt and pepper grinders out of some mahogany. |

First thing the guy at the mill told me is "do NOT get a splinter from that Wenge" and after the first pass with the router I decided to wipe the dust with my bare hand and picked one up from the bottom of the board. Stuff goes in like steel and is hard to get out in one piece. Dense wood but poor tensile strength. Scott

I have been making some edge grain cutting boards here recently as well. The one she is working on looks great!
