Wenge wood, native to Africa, is celebrated for its rich, deep brown to almost black color and striking grain patterns. Known for its exceptional hardness and durability, wenge has a fine, straight grain that can sometimes exhibit subtle, wavy patterns, adding to its visual appeal. Wenge becomes quite dark with the application of oil-based finishes. This wood is often used in high-end furniture and cabinetry. Its luxurious appearance makes it a preferred choice for creating sophisticated, long-lasting pieces.
