Wenge typically orginates from Zaire, Africa. Trees do not normally gow beyond 60 feet in height.
Sapwood is yellowish-white in colour and distinct from heartwood which is dark brown with alternate bands of dark and lighter coloured tissue giving a characteristic feature. Grain is straight and texture is rather coarse.
Very suitable for use as flooring strips or blocks. May also be used for interior and exterior joinery.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that C Blumsom is consulted before specifying.
