Dried grass/twig vase turned from African Mahogany (Sapele)
March 1, 2023
Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricu) is sometimes referred to as "African Mahogany," a tribute to its beauty, the character of its figure, and its often remarkable chatoyance (a beautiful optical reflection, or iridescence that appears in some woods and gemstones). It is a beautiful gold/brown, and has the dramatic figure of some the most beautiful of the Mahoganies.
