Does anyone know where I can get a back and side set of Wenge? Allied usually has some but they are sold out and the other people I called don't have any fully quartered sets. I am looking for a darker and fully quartersawn set with a little bit of color variation. Thanks in advance! |

my advice is that don't look for fully quatersaw Wenge....10-20% of quartersaw is much much better... |

Thanks everyone for the replies! I found a few new sources to choose from so I should be able to find what I need. |
