About Utile/Sipo

Utile, also known as Sipo and Sip Mahogany, is a hardwood tree that primarily grows in West and Central Africa. Sipo trees normally grow to a height of over 50 m and have an average trunk diameter of 1.5 m. Sipo is not easily available and its logging is banned in many countries.

As for the wood color, the Sipo heartwood is medium reddish brown and the sapwood is pale yellow and clearly defined. It looks somewhat similar to Sapele, but does not have any dramatic figuring of grain. Grain is interlocked and has a uniform texture. Sipo wood is moderately durable and has basic insect resistance. The interlocked grain of Utile can make it difficult to work with some machines. Also, it can lose its color when in direct contact with iron. The wood glues, finishes and turns rather well.

Common uses of Sipo hardwood include furniture making, boat building, cabinetry, veneering, flooring, turned objects, etc.
