where does one get wenge?

[rick0link]

like the title states. where do you get wenge lumber for builds? all the suppliers i looked into have odd sizes and cuts.

Africa. I mean, you can go to one of those places that have been mentioned, but why not make an adventure out of it?

Had good luck with:

Not bad pricing either.

I get mine here: Link Removed for three reasons:

1) they're very close to me
2) they're the cheapest place around
3) they get all sorts of sizes of boards in. I've see 8/4 boards easily 15" wide there on a regular basis

Their website, however, is pretty subpar and can be very buggy.

Look at Dirks link, good source finder, everyone else above also good sources, I buy from 3 different wood brokers within 4 hours of me, and mill my wenge to size for the project I am doing, but I don't use a lot of wenge anymore since it gained so much popularity.
