Sipo wood plank, dried, planed, and squared. Hand-selected.
Sipo wood stands out for its natural beauty and versatility, being easy to work with by hand or machine. Its planks feature an intense red color with an almost metallic sheen that catches the eye, adding a unique character.
Very similar to mahogany in appearance and properties, but more affordable, making it a popular choice among exotic woods.
