Wenge Lumber

Wenge is a distinctive hardwood renowned for its deep, dark color and dramatic grain patterns. This exotic wood features a rich, chocolate-brown to almost black hue, with prominent, irregular grain lines that create a striking visual effect. Wenge is highly valued by hobbyist woodworkers for projects such as cutting boards, game boards, and small decorative pieces, where both beauty and durability are essential. We carry both 4/4 and 8/4 in the rough.
