Wenge Cabinet Plywood

Wenge Cabinet Plywood brings the character of real wenge veneer to cabinet and furniture construction in an engineered panel format. Dark chocolate-brown with fine black veins with a hardwood core, it provides the dimensional stability of engineered construction with the appearance of solid wenge.

Common Uses

Wenge Cabinet Plywood is used for cabinet carcase boxes, face frames, drawer fronts, cabinet doors, furniture panels, built-ins, and wall panelling where a wenge face is the design intent.

Pro Tips

• Clear hardwax oil (Osmo, available at Windsor Plywood) enhances the dark colour without adding a plastic film.
• Orient grain direction consistently across all panels in a project for a unified appearance. Mark grain direction on the back of each sheet before cutting.
• Cut with the veneer face up using a fine-tooth blade (60T+) to minimize tearout on the show surface. Apply painter's tape over the cut line for the cleanest edge.
