Straight grain, fine to medium uniform texture. Pale cream color. Venner is slightly darker. Good workability, machines, finishes and glues well. Also good for steam bending. Can have a lot of movement.

Thickness:

Wenge

Grain is straight, with a very coarse texture. Heartwood is medium brown, sometimes with a reddish or yellowish hue, with nearly black streaks. Upon application of a wood finish (particularly an oil finish) the wood can become nearly black. However, unlike most other dark hardwoods, the heartwood of wenge can lighten (rather than darken) when exposed to sunlight. Very durable; good termite resistance.

Thickness:

Burmese Teak

Mostly straight grain, resistant to rot and termites. Some resistance to marine borers and powder post beetles. Following the February 2021 military take over of Myanmar, sanctions were placed on imported teak limiting the available stock.
