Nature’s Strong Hardwood
Wenge Wood Hard Dense and Exceptionally Durable
Wenge wood, scientifically known as Millettia laurentii, is an exotic hardwood native to the tropical forests of Central Africa, particularly in countries like the Republic of Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. This timber is instantly recognizable for its dark, dramatic brown to nearly black coloring with subtle, lighter brown streaks that create a unique and striking appearance. The wood is exceptionally dense and hard, offering high resistance to wear, moisture, and insects, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications that demand both visual sophistication and lasting performance. Because of its bold grain and natural oil content, Wenge brings a luxurious and contemporary edge to any design.
At Kantilal & Sons, we hand-select and import premium-grade Wenge timber, ensuring each piece meets international quality standards. Known for its workability when handled with the right tools and techniques, Wenge is a favorite among designers, architects, and furniture makers looking to create stunning pieces that command attention.
