Sapele boards?

[The big greasy]

Does anyone know where in alberta to get this wood from? Tried all windsor plywoods and they are all out of stock. It's mahogany/sapele. After darker brown/red straight, no cups or twists. Want 1 - 1/8 x 10 feet.

Will do. I used to see these boards all over at windsor but now they are scarce they say.

If youre looking for red, have you tried padauk? Looks orange but when seal it it goes red. Looks awesome beside walnut. I'll have a cutting board to show you an example of tomorrow

I have bought some padauk a while ago. I'm after a dark brownish/reddish, more brownish with the yellow fleck streaks. 'm being so fussy because I have to match my existing wood that I used.

Yeah mahogany would surely work but it seems that everyone is out. I need a deep brownish red board.

Well good luck. If you try the couple Windsor in calgary tomorrow, I'm driving through red deer Friday if they have some
