Bring something unique and elegant to your next woodworking project with White Wenge. This under-the-radar exotic hardwood is prized for its light golden-brown to pale cream tones, subtle ribboned grain, and impressive density—offering the strength and beauty of traditional Wenge in a much brighter, more versatile color palette.
Perfect for contemporary furniture, custom cabinetry, accent walls, and high-end millwork, White Wenge offers a distinctive look that elevates any design with understated elegance.
Visual & Workable Appeal
✅ Color & Grain – Creamy white heartwood with a fine-to-medium texture and interlocked grain
✅ Workability – Machines well with sharp tools, finishes smooth, and glues reliably
✅ Style Versatility – Light tone works beautifully in modern designs
Special Considerations
🔧 Workability Tips: While denser than domestic species, White Wenge responds well to carbide-tipped blades and sharp hand tools. Pre-drilling is recommended for clean joinery.
🌱 Sustainably Sourced: Ethically harvested from West and Central Africa, Lati offers a more sustainable alternative to darker exotic hardwoods with similar density and performance.
📚 Material Insight: Though commonly referred to as "White Wenge," this species—Lati—is not botanically related to traditional Wenge. However, it offers a comparable level of hardness and stability at a significantly lower price point.
