Wenge_Sawn_Lumber
Wenge is very hard and has a mild blunting effect on cutters. Because of differing density between light and dark streaks in the wood, Wenge splinters easily—so use care when handling unfinished wood. Once finished, Wenge appears nearly completely black
Wenge is reported to be a suitable substitute for Hickory for the production of sporting goods and Funiture etc. It is moderately hard and resistant to wearing and marring. Strength qualities in compression parallel to grain are exceptionally high.
