Wenge – Premium African Hardwood Turning Blank

Wenge (Millettia laurentii) is a bold and unmistakable African hardwood prized for its dark chocolate-brown to nearly black coloration, dramatic grain lines, and modern, high-contrast appearance. Known for its strength and striking visual impact, Wenge is a favorite among woodturners and fine woodworkers seeking a sophisticated, contemporary look.

This premium Wenge turning blank features coarse, open grain that creates powerful linear contrast when turned. With sharp tools and controlled cuts, Wenge machines cleanly, holds crisp detail, and sands to a smooth surface. When finished, its natural luster and deep color provide exceptional depth and character.

Wenge is ideal for pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, bowls, small boxes, inlay work, and architectural accents. Its density and rigidity give finished pieces a solid, high-end feel, making it especially popular for modern designs and statement projects.

Add bold contrast and refined African elegance to your next creation with carefully selected Wenge wood blanks, chosen for deep color, strong grain definition, and premium turning performance.
