So anytime you wonder about a material a quick search goes a long way.

Lots of sapele mentions, you should take a minute and scan them.

This in particular is relevant:

I enjoyed seeing all of the different ways that you made your joints. I enjoy using all of the types of exotic woods that you chose. Did you have trouble cutting through the different types of wood? I tried to cut through Sapele without any success.

Then another quick search, if you haven’t seen them:
