Wenge Turning Blank Squares 2″ X 2″ (4 PCS)

Wenge is one of the heaviest hardwoods you can put on a lathe. It comes from Africa and it is so dense that it sinks in water. That weight is part of why turners reach for it when they want something with real heft in the hand.

This set gives you four square blanks, each one 2 inches by 2 inches. That size is a good fit for spindle work like handles, pens, bottle stoppers, small finials, and short turned parts. The wood holds fine detail well, so crisp cuts and beads stay sharp. Sharp tools and a steady pass give the cleanest results on this dense grain.

The look is what people remember. Wenge runs a deep chocolate brown with near-black lines that streak across the face. Sanded and oiled, those lines pop and the surface takes on a smooth, almost waxy feel. Chuck one up, take a light first cut, and start shaping.
