Hey, thanks to all who made suggestions, I kept trying to get a picture that captures the beauty of the wood.
Same orphan board, sanded, two coats of zinnsers sealcoat in morning sun.

Good job. I assume that is sapele, am I right about that? It amazes me how something as flat as a board can look so three demensional. It seems to have hills and valleys with shadows and illuminated peaks. Just amazing. Is that board really flat?

Hey guys, yes this is the figured pomele Sapele. Don, you may have some, I have a dozen sets ready. Is that board really flat?, yes about .140 flat both sides.... Thanks Jeff, I know one thing, it took all week to get ready, but I can ship it pretty quick. |

Wow, Really nice photo Bruce! It was worth all the experimentation & hard work. That Sapele is gorgeous. I bought some Sapele from LMI recently but it's the tight longitudinal ribbon figure - not this beautiful mottled pomelle. Wish I had waited. Skip |

Thanks, that represents a bunch of effort to capture the beauty of this Sapele I purchased. I guess buying enough for a 100 sets was a bit overboard? Grin. I just hated seeing it go through the planer, become 5/4 material and then cabinets..... caught it just before they were going to run it. |

Super wood, Bruce! You folks build cabinets out of Sapele?? Wow. I guess I had better go to the local hardwood dealer and see if they are hiding anything in the back. Or I guess I will have to save a few more bucks and give you a call. Your photo is excellent!! Keep up the good work.
