At least with pine and oak I know that they’re planting as much as they’re cutting down. But Sapele is a tropical hard wood. Wesley Settings dborn 25 May 2015 at 1:52 pm #127311 Not at all! As long as it’s in your budget.

Thanks! According to my “dealer” sapele is cheaper than oak. I guess that’s because of the abundance of it. Settings Author Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
