I just found this at my local wood supplier - a 12 ft length of 6x2 sapele with an amazing ribbon or flame figure.
Because of the presence of tiny pin size worm holes at intervals along the length, it was priced at an irresistible £25.
Moisture content is currently 9%, and I am hoping my bandsaw can muster the power to convert this into soprano and concert sets, though I'll be needing a new blade.
Any advice on the conversion process welcome! It isn't quartered, more like 45 degrees, but the figure runs all the way through.
