About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of string instruments millennia ago.

Wenge Wood is a tropical hardwood that comes from the Millettia Laurentii tree, and is found natively in west central Africa. Wenge Wood is known by many names including Dikela, Faux Ebony, Mibotu, Bokonge, and Awong, amongst others.

Wenge Wood can range from a medium brown to a rich chocolate brown color, and features a stunning straight and deeply textured grain pattern of very dark brown or black. Wenge can easily be finished to appear almost black, which is why it is sometimes used as an Ebony substitute. In terms of its physical properties, Wenge is a very dense and hard wood, with a Janka hardness rating of over 1,900 pounds, which makes it one of the strongest and most durable woods available. This means it is highly resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.

Although used in Africa since ancient times, a combination of its striking good looks and immense durability has led to Wenge becoming increasingly popular around the world in recent decades. Wenge is used in the construction of fine guitars and basses as the material for fingerboards, necks, and bodies, as well as in drums and other musical instruments. Aside from its use in instruments, Wenge Wood has been used for a wide variety of purposes including decorative wood carvings, high end furniture, fine cabinetry, flooring, walking canes, and more.
