Wenge

Wenge, an exotic and dense African hardwood, is distinguished by its deep brown color with black streaks, offering a striking, nearly ebony appearance. With a fine, even texture and heavy durability, it’s particularly favored for intricate woodworking, flooring, and decorative veneers. Wenge’s pronounced grain and dark tones provide a bold, sophisticated look, making it a luxurious choice for modern interiors and statement furniture pieces.

Despite its hardness, it works well with both hand and machine tools. After milling, the boards are yellow but can be set in the sun to darken to a rich almost black color.
