Product Description
Crafted from durable and sustainable Sapele wood, our Sapele Bench Slats with a Roundover profile are the perfect choice for upgrading your outdoor seating area. Sapele is a beautiful and durable hardwood that is commonly used for bench slats. It is native to tropical Africa and has a rich reddish-brown colour with a distinctive ribbon-like grain pattern that adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space. Sapele is known for its high density, strength, and resistance to decay, making it a popular choice for furniture and outdoor structures. A roundover profile, also known as round edged or eased edges, is a woodworking technique used to create smooth, curved corners/edges on a piece of wood. When applied to bench slats, a roundover profile can provide both comfort and style. The rounded edges eliminate sharp corners, making it more comfortable to sit on the bench for extended periods of time. Additionally, the rounded edges can add a visually pleasing touch to the bench, giving it a softer and more elegant appearance. These bench slats are machined on site in our sawmill and are available in a range of sizes to fit your bench perfectly.

"The wood was fine and arrived really well wrapped and protected. However the length of time it took from order to delivery is really not acceptable these days - over a fortnight. Either the wood is bought in to order (unlikely I imagine) or the management and organisation in the sawmill is old fashioned and sadly lacking. Decent wood though. "

All bench slats orders are currently produced to order and current lead time is on the bench slat home page and states 10 working days(two weeks). We are working as fast as possible to reduce this, but due to the current very high demand there is a lead time. "

"Disappointed machining quality was poor with ridges on both sides of some slats, took a lot of hand sanding to remove. Also one slat has twisted slightly, but I suppose that is the nature of wood."

"I made a single person bench seat from the frames of a full seat. The original wood was too far gone so 8 bench slats (600 x 50 x 20) were just perfect. Arrived in good time, all rounded and smooth. Gave them 5 coats of varnish drilled a few holes and the seat is that good the wife has it in the hallway. Top product at a price local wood merchants couldn't match. "

Sapele is a medium to dark reddish brown heartwood predominantly from West Africa. It generally has a more random grain appearance meaning it can be liable to interlocked grain. Interlocked grain spirals around the centre of the tree thus alternating intermittently and causing a 'rough' effect, this can generally be reduced if not eliminated by heavy sanding.
