Description
Panga Panga (Millettia stuhlmannii) is a dense and durable African hardwood, closely related to Wenge. It is known for its deep brown to nearly black heartwood, often interwoven with lighter, golden streaks. The grain is typically straight but can display a slightly interlocked or wavy pattern, adding to its visual appeal.
Renowned for its hardness and resistance to wear, Panga Panga is widely used in flooring, furniture, cabinetry, turning, and even musical instruments. It is particularly valued for its strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and structural applications. Despite its density, it machines well with sharp tools and finishes beautifully, taking on a rich, polished surface.
Each piece of Panga Panga is unique, with natural variations in colour and figure. Due to its high oil content, pre-treatment may be required for gluing.
With its striking appearance, toughness, and versatility, Panga Panga remains a top choice for woodworkers seeking a durable and visually distinctive hardwood.
