Sapele spindles offer a refined option for staircases and architectural details. Sapele is often compared to mahogany due to its close relationship in the wood family. In fact, sapele is sometimes referred to as “sapele mahogany” because it shares many visual and structural qualities with traditional mahogany. These qualities include durability, workability, and a reddish-brown hue.
Custom sapele spindles can be crafted to meet your precise design requirements. This allowing architects, builders, and homeowners to create a personalized aesthetic. The wood’s fine texture and grain make it ideal for intricate turnings. Even the most detailed spindle designs are sure to be structurally sound and visually pleasing.
The connection between sapele and mahogany is important for those seeking the luxurious appearance of mahogany at a more cost-effective price. Sapele offers many of the same benefits as mahogany, such as excellent resistance to decay and a natural luster that enhances its finish. This makes sapele spindles a great choice for both interior and exterior projects.
Available in a variety of styles, including traditional turned spindles and more contemporary profiles, sapele spindles provide versatile options. Whether used in staircases, balconies, or porch railings, they complement both classic and modern architectural themes.
