PropertiesWengé is a heavy and dense wood which is highly resistant to abrasion. It has a high resistance to shock loads and a high bending strength, low stiffness, medium crushing strength and a low steam-bending rating. The wood works well with both machine and hand tools, and has a moderate to medium blunting effect on cutting edges. Pre-boring is required for nailing, and gluing and polishing can be difficult because of the resin cells in the wood. Sawing is slow, but it planes fairly easily.
