Wenge

Hardness: 7.3 Stability: Very Good

Wenge is a Wow wood. It really has to be seen to be believed. Very dark brown to almost black when finished, and with an animal print grain, Wenge is truly one of nature’s wonders. It is hard and stable and it finishes very well. So what, may you ask, is the problem? Sadly this wood is very expensive, so maybe it’s better if you don’t fall in love with it.
