Species:

Botanical name: Millettia laurentii

Common names: Wenge, False Ebony, African Rosewood, and Awong.

Origin: West Africa. However, a cousin of wenge, Panga-panga, comes from East Africa.

Wenge is dark brown wood with delicate black veins, very hard and at the same time crumbly.

It is a wood that must be matured and freshly sliced, the wenge has an orange-yellow color, and it will take its dark chocolate color only after maturing in a smothered state.

Wenge was used during the Art-Deco period (1910-1939). It's nowadays a wood of choice for refined decoration in contrast with lighter wood.

In quarter-cut, it offers a straight and uncluttered appearance. Its structure becomes much wilder in crown cut, highlighting the black veins that form the crown design.

This species is used in decoration and furniture, musical instruments such as electric guitars, drum drums, and marquetry.

Product Description:

Genuine wood-sliced veneer sheets.

These veneers are raw without a finish or any fleece back.

The veneer surface is similar to plane wood. However, it will be preferable to forecast a light sanding after gluing.

The veneers are offered here as wood-sliced sheets of one and unique thickness.

Both faces of these veneers are the same, without fleece back, without glue.

Even if the veneer's sides had been cut relatively straight, it isn't a precise parallel clipping; some veneers may have kept the decreasing shape of the tree, wider at the bottom end and narrower at the top end.

Very occasionally, some veneer's sides have traces of unclipped wane, but our veneers are measured at the narrowest, as explained in the paragraph "Dimensions."

As genuine natural wood, all finishing products are acceptable as long these products are meant to be for wood usage.

The choice of the finished product must be consistent with the final usage realization.
