Key Features:
-
Appearance:
- Color: Wenge wood is known for its deep, rich dark brown color, often with very fine, nearly black streaks. When finished, the wood can appear almost black.
- Grain: The grain is typically straight, but it can also be slightly interlocked. The texture is coarse and can have a somewhat oily feel, contributing to its unique look and feel.
-
Physical Properties:
- Density: Wenge is a very dense and heavy wood, contributing to its strength and durability. Its density makes it resistant to wear and abrasion.
- Hardness: It is an extremely hard wood, which can make it more challenging to work with but also provides exceptional durability.
- Durability: Wenge is highly durable and resistant to termite attack and decay, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
-
Workability:
- Wenge can be difficult to work with due to its hardness and density. It can blunt tools and requires careful handling to avoid splintering.
- It glues and finishes well, although the open pores may need filling for a smooth finish. Its coarse texture can be sanded to a high polish, enhancing its dark, elegant appearance.
