Sapele Mahogany heartwood seasons to reddish or purplish brown. The grain is typically interlocked, resulting in a pronounced striped effect when quarter sliced. Howevever, whe interlocked grain is absent, the appearance can be quite plain. Pommele figure from rotary cut veneer appears as diagonal waves of varying intensity
The Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) core is made in a production process similar to Particleboard (PBC) except that all of wood particles are small and uniform like sawdust. MDF offers great stability and is the least likely to react when subjected to a measurable change in temperature or humidity. It offers a very smooth, void-free surface for veneer faces.
MDF has greater strength and screw holding properties than particleboard and weighs around 100 lbs per 3/4-inch panel. It is used in cabinets, furniture, fixtures and molding and is highly recommended for thin panel applications such as door inserts for cabinets and paneling.
