Sipo Lumber

Sipo (pronounced seepo), also known as Utile or Sipo Mahogany, is a West African hardwood with rich reddish-brown tones and fine grain. It’s an excellent substitute for genuine mahogany, used in furniture, doors, windows, cabinetry, and even boat construction. Strong, stable, and elegant, Sipo machines easily and takes a beautiful finish. Compare with African Mahogany Lumber, Sapele Lumber, or Edinam Lumber.
