Wenge Wood knife block
Wenge is a tropical African wood, consisting of 2 distinct layers.
A hard, black layer and alternating cinnamon colored layers of softer wood.
Wenge is heavy and hard and has been used in everything from buildings, custom guitars, archery bows and flooring due to the unique texture.
Dust from Wenge can be toxic and personal protection equipment like a dust mask should be worn when working it, to avoid irritating lungs or eyes.
