Wengé

This wood is difficult to work with because of its particular hardness and the resins of various kinds, but employing fit tools, it can be sawn, turned, or carved with ease. It is difficult to clean, lacquer, and especially glue. Since it is not particularly exposed to pests, wengè is a durable wood and is generally used for the production of modern style furniture for interior decoration. Fine veneers are also made from it.
