Color:

Heartwood is a uniform medium reddish brown. Well-defined sapwood is a paler yellow. Generally lacks any dramatic figuring of grain that is common in the closely related Sapele.

Grain:

Grain is interlocked, with a medium uniform texture. Moderate natural luster.

Workability:

Sipo can be troublesome to work in some machining operations, (i.e., planing, routing, etc.), resulting in tearout due to its interlocked grain. It will also react when put into direct contact with iron, becoming discolored and stained. Turns, glues, and finishes well.

Physical properties:

Moderate hardness and weight. Medium bending and crushing strengths. Wood bending is difficult and not recommended.
