Wenge is one of the darkest woods we offer!
What colour is Wenge? This beautiful wood has a distinctive look with a medium brown heartwood filled with black streaks throughout. The grain is straight and extremely coarse. It is often used as an alternative for projects requiring a dark wood like Ebony. Where does Wenge come from? This hard, durable wood is from Central Africa.
This is not a wood species for the faint of heart. It is extremely difficult to work with hand or power tools and it will dull edges quickly. It doesn’t even sand well because of the changing densities in the wood. The pores are huge and require filling in order to achieve a level finish. All that to be said, the end results are more than worth it! Wenge is used for furniture, turnings, and musical instruments. The slivers from this wood are plentiful and nasty. They often get lodged in the skin and can go septic. Be sure to wear gloves to help prevent these slivers!

The Wenge thins were clear of defects and planed to a consistent 1/4 inch thickness. The thins are great for trimming serving boards, though Wenge itself is brittle and finicky to work with.
Great looking boards! Will buy again
The four Wenge boards that I ordered were very good with no knots or checks. Three of the four boards were good color and grain matches to each other, which is all l needed for my table top. KJP/Wood Vault did another fine job with the order.
Good experience. Placing order easy, delivery timely, product quality good. Probably best to inspect prior to purchase if grain appearance is vital.
The one side of the Wenge lumber has small holes that look like damage from powder post beetles. It also has a larger hole/divot approx 6” from one end leaving that unable to utilize the full piece of wood. I understand wood isn’t perfect but for my first order I’m not overly impressed.
Really dark and great for that accent wood you are looking for. Good stuff!
Order was excellent
Great quality, packaged nice and secure, we can always count on KJP for that!
My husband loves his wood always .. & Birthdays too . Thank you
Everything looks great

S4S Wenge Lumber - Thick
Just what I expected
I prefer Wenge with a fairly straight grain and that is what I got. Another good purchase here.
This is my 2nd time ordering this Wenge and it's always perfect, to a concerning degree. Not sure what wizardry goes on there.
Wood is nice, straight and what would be expected of s4s.
Packaging on the other hand was not great. I know the shipper is not gentle. But the box had minimal tape on the ends for it holding as much wood as it was. The end of the package was completely ripped open and wood falling out. Some how everything was still intact with some damage to the ends.
Great lumber as always.
Nice clean wood no knots or cracks!!
Excellent quality... love it.
