Yes Kevin, I use a 30 min 2 part epoxy. You can also use a wood filler too for it as well. Problem is finding a filler that matches the Wenge color, I did it one time using a white wood filler for a contrasting effect to the Wenge wood and it turned out nice after I sealed it with epoxy glue and then sanded it off with 800 grit then 1200 and it really shined. With Wenge wood you might not want to thin the second coat of epoxy as it will take a while to fill in the grooves.

Oh I should add I always finish with hand sanding with epoxy, also the CA glue won't soak into the hard wood of Wenge very much at all, just fill in the very open grain that it has. You can use either method, they have a super glue that is a gel like what I get from TXKMS and you can thin it out as well with acetone or lacquer thinner, no need to wait for epoxy to setup and dry. Just sand the surface off like I do to get rid of the slippery issue brought up by Epic.
