The first time Chris and I laid eyes on it, we knew right then and there we found a special look for our angels.

Sapele wood, with its origins deeply rooted in Africa, is a tropical hardwood that boasts a striking appearance and exceptional durability. This stunning wood features a rich reddish-brown hue, complemented by subtle interplay of darker and lighter tones, adding depth and character to every piece crafted from it. When light dances upon the surface of sapele, it reveals an alluring look that captures attention and captivates the eye.

These grain patterns add depth and character to our angels, transforming them into one-of-a-kind masterpieces that evoke a sense of warmth and wonder.
