The rich red-brown tones and interlocked grain of Pomelle Sapele create movement and contrast that look especially impressive under a clear, high-gloss finish. Whether you’re turning a statement pen or adding something special to your blank collection, Pomelle Sapele delivers a refined, premium look.

Fun facts about Pomelle Sapele:
Pomelle Sapele isn’t a separate species — it’s a rare figure found in some Sapele trees. The dramatic “quilted” or blistered pattern is caused by irregular grain growth, which is why pomelle boards are much rarer (and more valuable) than standard Sapele.
It’s a favorite in high-end instruments and interiors. Pomelle Sapele is commonly used for luxury guitar backs and sides, fine furniture, and yacht or automotive interiors because it offers the visual drama of quilted maple with the warmth and stability of an African hardwood.
