Wenge Wood Serving Boards
“Wenge – The Shadow of Strength”
From the depths of Africa’s lush rainforests, where ancient whispers drift through the canopy, comes Wenge (Millettia laurentii)— a wood as dark as midnight shadow, with the warmth of earth pulsing within. Wenge wood stands timeless, it’s trunk dense and resolute, holding centuries of silence in its grain. Nearly black, streaked with chocolate-brown veins, Wenge’s texture tells a story — each line a gesture, each swirl a breath.
It is more than wood — it is sculpture. A fusion of nature’s power and human purpose. A silent presence in the modern kitchen, where form meets function, and the ordinary becomes enduring. Strong. Noble. Eternal.

NOTICE -
Environmental Considerations: Due to Wenge’s popularity, natural forests are strictly regulated to prevent overharvesting. Today, much of the Wenge on the market comes with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, ensuring responsible sourcing.
The boards are handmade, they may differ slightly from the one shown in the picture, because it is not possible to make several identical boards, they may differ slightly in color and shape. Before shipping, we will contact you to make sure that you are satisfied with the order.
