Spotlight on Sapele and Teak

Sapele Wood: Known for its rich, reddish-brown color and pronounced grain patterns, Sapele is a member of the mahogany family. It is highly valued for its exceptional stability and resistance to warping, making it a popular choice for high-quality furniture and intricate woodwork. Sapele’s natural oils provide a degree of water resistance, though it may require additional treatment to ensure longevity in marine environments.

Teak Wood: Often regarded as the gold standard for marine applications, Teak is celebrated for its unparalleled durability and resistance to the elements. With its warm, golden-brown hue and tight, straight grain, Teak is naturally oily and highly resistant to water, insects, and decay. This makes it an ideal choice for boat decks, outdoor furniture, and any application where exposure to harsh conditions is a factor.
