The panga was first formally described as Pagrus laniarius in 1830 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes in volume 6 of Histoire naturelle des poissons, its type locality was given as the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.[3] In 1938 James Leonard Brierley Smith reclassified this species in the monospecific genus Pterogymnus.[4] This taxon is placed in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of Fishes of the World.[5] Some authorities classify this genus in the subfamily Sparinae,[6] but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sparidae.[5]
The panga has the area between the eyes and the flange on the preoperculum scaled. The lower jaw has 2 rows of molar-like teeth. The dorsal fin has 12 spines and 10 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 8 soft rays. There is a scaly sheath at the base of the soft rayed parts of both the dorsal and anal fin but no scales on the soft rayed part of these fins. The compressed body is ovoid in shape with a depth that fist into its standard length 2.3 to 2.5 times. The dorsal profile of the head is smoothly convex and the eye is large with the rear edge of the preorbital bone having a wave-like shape and is not covered by the scales of the cheek. The overall colour of the body is red or pink, lighter in colour on the lower body, with 5 or 6 indistinct bluish, horizontal lines underneath the lateral line.[8] This species has a maximum total length of 45 cm (18 in), although 27 cm (11 in) is more typical.[2]
The panga is endemic to South Africa where it occurs in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean in False Bay in the Western Cape to Beira, Mozambique in the southwestern Indian Ocean.[8] This species is found mostly on deep, low. topographically complex reefs and sometimes over areas of mud and sand as deep as 120 m (390 ft).[1]
The panga is a predatory species in which the adults feed on benthic invertebrates, mainly crabs with polychaetes, brittle stars and fishes less important as prey. The juveniles feed largely on mysids. This species is a rudimentary hermaphrodite. i.e. the gonads contain both male and female reproductive tissue but is a late gonochorist in which sexual maturity is attained at around 4 or 5 years old. They spawn mainly at the Agulhas Bank and spawning occurs throughout the year.[1]
The panga is an important species for the offshore commercial line fishery in the southern Eastern Cape where it made up 16.5% of the total landings from 1985 to 2007. It is also an important part of the South African demersal inshore trawl fishery where it made up 63% of the landings between 1992 and 1995 and 11% of the landing from the demersal deep sea trawl fishery in the southern Eastern Cape and Western Cape.[9]
I'm not sure but I think it never sold because of finishing problems.. I for one thinks that De-Waked Shellac may cure that! Now what to fill the rough grain with.. However, the grain does not look any worser? that red Oak!Not using it now... In my shop for a few weeks to 'do it's thing'.. Then when it warms up I got two Canopy beds and a large toy chest/ Sitting bench to make from it!
Will George,
Thanks for writing back about the Panga Panga. You know more about it than anyone else I know. That makes you the local expert.
Have fun.

I appreciate the heads up. I wonder why this wood would be for sale at this price.One thing they said was that sometimes glue won't work with it. I am trying to design to avoid glue joints and instead design the desk with joints that don't rely on glue.
Look at the original post in this thread. The man wants to converse with someone who knows something about AS IN ME? LOL.. I just go with the flow and see what happens.. Not many can do that and not get upset!
I used it to build my stairs. It is hard and strong. Back when I first started using it, Paxton Lumber had a book about some of the woods they sold. It seems that in Congo, or whereever they got it, Panga meant something like really good. But this wood was so much better, that they called it panga panga as in double good.
If you end up cutting it in such a way that there is any broad bands of a plainsawn face, the sanding can end up pitting if there any areas where the light bands of color are very large. The more you sand, the worse it gets, since the black portion is so much harder than the lighter bands.
I found it at Owl's in Des Plaines. They had reduced the price dramatically to get rid of it. I appreciate the advice. All that I have is quartersawn boards which are about 3/4" thick, but the grain turns in a couple to make some dramatic patterns. I think I will save those for something other than the desk. Any recommendation on what glue to use? If I can, I would like to glue up the top and finish with pure tung oil.
I have not had a problem glueing it infact I got some offcuts ( about 500 mm long )from a saw mill cutting Parquet flooring blocks. Split them in half and glued them up to make a wider board and planed them own to about 10 mm for a Laptop "stand" which I use when in bed (like now !)
If anyone wants to purchase more in bulk I have a contact . One of the FEW people I know in Mozambique who is interested in conservation and plants more trees than he even thinks of harvesting. He will point you in the right direction
Rob,
you said "If anyone wants to purchase more in bulk I have a contact . One of the FEW people I know in Mozambique who is interested in conservation and plants more trees than he even thinks of harvesting."
If that person is Ant White by any chance? If it is , tell him an arbitrary oke in New Zealand salutes him.Philip Marcou
It's good to hear that there is some movement to preserve the resource in Mozambique--a lot of African woods have been hard hit. Another Mozambique wood that is well worth the effort for conservation is African blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon); I don't know if your friend is working with that one, too.
The floor in the old colonial Govenors house on Ilha da Mozambique was made with Panga Panga, (partridge wood) Millettia stuhlmanii, 300 years ago, we just restored it with a bit of steel wool and some white wax polish and it looks like new, so yes it is durable and suitable for flooring......and furniture and just about anything dark and classy and decorative. It glues easily with just about anything, but does have a problem with splinters and tends sometimes to have some silica deposits in it which blunt tools.
There are a couple of projects in Mozambique which grow it back (one of which is mine) which is a lot easier than people think, all you have to do is make the effort, and wait about 300 years.........
Well, I did buy it because it was inexpensive, but I don't plan to use it as if it were easily replaced. I like it because it is so heavy and beautiful and hard and looks like it will wear well. I am glad to hear that someone is working to conserve the trees.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that it burns very easily if you use power sanders such as disc sanders etc so you need to reduce speed and preferably use open coat.
I think I am right in saying that A LOT OF CHARCOAL is made in Mozambique with this timber.......and exported ofcourse. Somebody needs shooting.Philip Marcou
We are working now on the step. I can't believe how beautiful panga panga cuts. We cut about an eight of an inch strip off one board to give it a nice edge, and the band that cut off is so beautiful, we will be using it for inlay in the future. It is so strong too. We had to cut a board to length and so I had Kelly cut a couple of pen blanks off the end. Even though they are cut the way the grain should be weakest, I can't break them with my hands.
That stuff is virtually the same as Wenge- of the Millettia family. As others have said it comes from East Africa. It makes excellent parquet flooring and turns nicely. I have never had a problem glueing it with white glues or Cascamite type powder glues.No problem finishing it with catalysed lacquers.It takes a solvent type stain very well, so you can have it dark right away.
Plenty of silica -best to use tungsten tips and knives.
Very evil little splinters, which fester. You will not often be able to pick up a rough sawn board without collecting a splinter or two.
Full of dirty dust- if you sweat then after a bit you will look like a Welsh coal miner, and the shop will look like a coal yard.
I brought some here, only to find that it can actually be bought at a nearby timber yard- hellish price.
If you use ordinary Stanley type planes then I advise you to increase the cutting angle by five degrees or so. Chisels that are ground at 25 degrees can chip if you are chopping cross grain.
Otherwise it is fine stuff- well worth any extra effort.
I use some to make plane knobs and handles.
"Hey Mook, It looks like you may be planing against the grain there. When are you ever going to learn?"
You are quite correct Keith, I am becoming quite indifferent to all but the nastiest of timbers these days. See, it must be these planes that I am spoiling myself with.
There are (admittedly) a few gentlemen out there who still maintain that, despite all evidence to the contrary, virtually any (old) plane will do- but I do have a sneaking suspicion that they may be working butterwood or similar, like Adam does with those canoe planes of his.
Look at the attachment- one hand there,just now I'll be running two planes at once (;)

Ha ha, I guess like the little mouse, I got caught taking the bait. Those are great looking planes. Did you make those? I am impressed. I usually don't spend much time in the hand-tool forums, and have only heard brief mention of your planes. I can see now that I have not been paying you your due respect. Most of the tools that I make are butt-ugly compared to those, but they do work.:I really like that you can work with one hand, while the other hand photographs it working. I should try that, but I know that my working hand would get mad and go on strike.
