Sapele - Wide Stave Worktop - Nature Grade
Our Wide Stave worktops are manufactured by hand using the finest African, European, and North American timber, creating a beautiful and individual kitchen worktop. Every worktop features wide, long staves which run the whole length of the worktop. This construction allows us to show the natural beauty of the wood and gives a more traditional look. The staves will vary in width across each worktop, typically 100-200mm.
Sapele is a tropical African timber that shares many attributes with Mahogany and is now widely used as a substitute for the more expensive, harder to source timber. Like Mahogany, Sapele has a rich dark reddish colour with medium to dark brown grain patterning which will deepen with age. The grain itself can present a wide variety of patterns from the common straight/ribbon effect when quarter sawn to more wavy patterns.
Nature Grade worktops are designed to show off the natural characteristics of each timber. Some colour and grain variation will appear and small knots can be present, the extent of any variation will differ between species.
