Panga Panga PP16 — 1060x145x21mm

Panga Panga (Millettia stuhlmannii)

Panga Panga is a striking East African hardwood, closely related to Wenge and sharing its dramatic dark chocolate-brown heartwood with fine black streaking. Often described as a more workable alternative to Wenge, it offers the same bold, contemporary aesthetic with a slightly finer grain and better finishing properties. A standout choice for anyone seeking a dark, dramatic timber with real presence.
