About Wenge

Wenge (Millettia laurentii) is very dark brown with very close, straight grain and fine black veins. Wenge is a dense exotic wood with excellent strength and hardness properties. It works well with hand and machine tools, though there is a slight blunting effect on cutting surfaces. It is an outstanding turning stock. Typical uses include decorative boxes, accents, small cabinets, flooring, tool handles, paneling, and fine furniture.
