Yep, Wenge for me, as per my old Jason Owen cue.

Lovely wood when it is finished but a right pain to work with, can be hard as iron and can splinter.

Does anyone recognise this wood type ?

**bigandyg** · 5 January 2016, 05:52 PM

Beautiful wood but horrible to work with.

It's OK to work with but difficult to finish as it has many little shakes and cracks that need filling.
