Nobody pronounce it 'wenj' then?

Some woods are really quite nasty. I found out the hard way that Iroko is an irritant after making a bass body out of it - it caused a rash on my arm every time I played it.

Rosewood (and some other species - but only if ingested, so you need to be careful with dust when working with it) is a carcinogen.

According to the Wood Database, Wenge is pronounced "WHEN-gii" or "WHEN-ghay".
