Wenge

Origin:

West Africa (from Cameroon to the Congo)

Color:

The sapwood is gray-white, the heartwood is fresh and light, later darkening to coffee brown.

Characteristics:

Wenge is very decorative, with its coarse pores exhibiting light or dark filler. Slightly shimmering medullary rays are visible.

Application:

Wenge is a good type of construction wood for interiors and exteriors, which is also suited to framework, parquet and veneer in interior finishing.

Did you know ...

... that managed forests, thanks to their high proportion of young, strong, growing trees, enable CO2 to be extracted?

... that an old, unmanaged forest produces as much CO2 through processes of decomposition and decay as it stores, and that therefore an unmanaged forest contributes nothing to reducing global CO2?
