WENGE
About Wenge
Wenge is a tropical hardwood originating from Central Africa, particularly from countries like the Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. It is highly prized for its rich, dark brown color with nearly black streaks, which gives it a very distinctive and attractive appearance. The wood has a coarse, straight grain with a natural luster, making it a popular choice for luxurious applications. Wenge is extremely dense and heavy, offering impressive durability and strength. Due to its high density, it is resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for flooring, countertops, paneling, and high-end furniture.

Hardness also makes it a bit challenging to work with using hand tools, and it can dull blades quickly. It glues well but requires pre-drilling for nails and screws. In addition to its strength, Wenge is also known for its acoustic properties, making it a preferred wood for crafting musical instruments like guitars and basses. Its deep, chocolate color makes it a favorite among interior designers and architects seeking a bold, contemporary aesthetic. With proper finishing and care, Wenge wood products can last for decades, making it both a functional and visually stunning material for premium wood projects.
