We select wenge for its bold appearance and the striking contrast it creates alongside lighter hardwoods. Rather than using it on its own, we often combine Wenge with timbers such as maple, oak and European Walnut to produce handcrafted designs with depth, elegance and individuality. Its naturally dark colouring helps create products that are both modern and timeless.

You'll often find wenge featured within our handcrafted Chopping Boards, charcuterie boards and bespoke commissions, where it is used to create bold contrasting patterns and eye-catching details. These carefully selected timber combinations allow us to produce unique handcrafted pieces that showcase the beauty of multiple hardwood species working together.

Like all premium hardwoods, wenge benefits from regular maintenance to preserve its rich colour and distinctive appearance. Following our Wood Care Guide will help protect the timber with food-safe oil while enhancing the contrast between its dark colouring and natural grain. With proper care, wenge will continue to add depth and character to handcrafted products for many years.
