![]() The wood is so dense that it is hard to machine and the heat generated rapidly dulls tools. Surfaces should be freshly prepared and should then be cleaned with a solvent moments before gluing, similar to gluing teak. Wenge will often be quite resinous, which leads to problems when gluing. Shrinkage in drying from green to 6 percent MC is estimated to be 4-1/2 percent tangentially (the width of flatsawn lumber) and 2-1/2% radially (quartersawn width). Most wenge is dried before it arrives in North America. A board foot of lumber will weigh about 4-1/2 pounds, which is heavier than North American lumber.ĭrying. The density of kiln-dried wood ranges from 45 to 55 pounds per cubic foot. Processing suggestions and characteristicsĭensity. The species is now considered to be endangered. Although not common in the North American markets, wenge lumber is sometimes available. It has been used for guitar fingerboards. It is also used as an accent wood for furniture and cabinets. Wenge also is used for both strip and parquet flooring, especially as an accent with a lighter colored floor. In fact, its striking grain pattern, especially when quartersawn (photo) makes it more attractive than hickory. The wood is very heavy and can be used as a substitute for hickory in sporting goods where its high impact resistance is a plus. Note: A very close relative in appearance and strength is panga panga (Millettia stuhlamnnii). ![]() Kino is high in tannin content and is very astringent. The bark has been valued for a reddish sap called kino. The diameter of the mature tree is 30 to 36 inches. The tree is short, seldom reaching over 50 feet in height. Another name for the wood is African rosewood. have switched to inkjet prints, rather than wet-process photographic print.Wenge (Millettia laurentii) is a tree found mainly in Tanzania and Mozambique. As an aside, a lot of places like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, etc. Any sort of chemical or water will damage many inkjet or "giclee" prints. ![]() I would definitely not use any sort of solvent on a computer made "print." Perhaps the 131 photo was not a litho or glossy, but rather a laser or inkjet print? If I am not mistaken, NASA did send out some crew photos that appeared to be printed on laser or inkjet. It quickly removed the tape and cleaned up nicely with no damage to the litho. I recently used Goo Gone on a vintage litho that had a small piece of scotch tape on it. It may evaporate leaving no mark, but the possibility exists it could leave a faint oily stain. ![]() After the goo gone evaporated, there was no stain left on the ball. I have also used it to get sticker residue off a baseball. Just to reiterate that it is safest on a glossy photo or item with a non porous surface, from which it can be wiped off. Wow, I tried this today and it works great! Thanks for a great tip. Steve, that is information we can all use. I have used it many times to remove stickers and/or tape from the front and back of photos. It's basically some kind of citrus liquid that dissolves the sticky residue and you just wipe it away. Goo Gone is excellent for removing sticky residue and will not harm a glossy pic. I have had some success with lighter fluid and a cotton swab, but be careful as it can also remove signatures! Best to try to duplicate the residue on a photo you don't care about and experiment first. What is the best way to get a small amount of tape residue off a glossy photo?
