These are a first for me – at least the kind of wood. Sapele is an import from Africa much like mahogany but less expensive. For the most part it is harder than mahogany and a little darker. My interest in this wood is in its rot resistance and suitable use for exterior balusters. It is however quite fine in appearance and hence the reason for the kitchen island legs shown below.

These are fluted – sixteen flutes.
