Wenge (Millettia laurentii) is a highly sought-after hardwood that hails from the tropical regions of Central Africa, particularly in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. This wood is recognized for its dark brown to almost black heartwood, often interspersed with fine, lighter streaks. The grain is usually straight, though it can sometimes be slightly interlocked, and its coarse texture adds to its distinctive and striking appearance.

Wenge is appreciated for its excellent workability despite its high density. It can be somewhat challenging to machine due to its hardness, but it finishes beautifully, making it a favored choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and musical instruments. Its remarkable hardness and stability also make it suitable for demanding applications such as tool handles, turned objects, and luxury car interiors. The wood polishes to a smooth, lustrous finish, highlighting its rich color and unique grain patterns.

Wenge is an exceptionally dense and durable hardwood, offering outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to wear and impact. Its natural resistance to decay and insect attacks further enhances its durability, making it well-suited for both indoor and select outdoor applications when properly sealed.
