Has anyone here worked with sapele? I just bought a beautiful 16"x50" piece of 8/4 figured sapele. It was one of those "If it pleases the eye, you gotta buy!" purchases. I have no idea what I'll make.
But I was wondering about the workability of the wood before I take a plane or chisel to it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,

I splashed some mineral spirits on it to show the figure better. The pics still don't do it justice.
