Mahogany sipo, (Entandrophragma utile)

Weight s.g.  0.55 (good)  Hardness 4 KN   Stability; volumetric 11.4 T/R 1.4  

It looks very like Honduran mahogany has comparable S.G. and hardness, slightly higher volumetric shrinkage but better T/R ratio.  The same species as Sapele, but a variety with less of the ribbon striping which makes it easier to work.

Sourced from the DRC with VLO certification.

A recommended timber.
