    Absolutely Beautiful Wenge

    I purchased four 1 3/4" X 1 3/4" Wenge 30" pieces to complete a table for family as a belated Christmas present. Bubinga and Wenge - table looks great and the 1 3/4" pieces are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Cut perfectly revealing gorgeous grain in the wood. You guys got me hooked - I'm now a customer for life!

    Cutting board strips

    Got 5 different cutting board strips. Four of five excellent. Wenge strip was warped and required significant planing to be useful, but ultimately worked out.

    Excellent Wenge

    I bought 5 of these to make some chisel handles with brass. Very pleased with the squares received. No flaws at all and my handles came out perfect. Not the best wood to spin on a lathe, but beautiful in the end.
