African padauk (pterocarpus soyauxii) central and tropical west Africa. Medium to hard wood, color can vary, ranging from a pale pinkish orange to a deep brownish red. Most pieces tend to start reddish orange when freshly cut, darkening substantially over time to a reddish/purplish brown. Padauk is easy to work, though it does have a moderate blunting effect on cutters. Tearout may also occur during planing on quartersawn or interlocked grain. Padauk turns, glues, and finishes well. It’s a popular hardwood among hobbyist woodworkers because of its unique color. Some common uses for Padauk include: veneer, flooring, turned objects, musical instruments, furniture, tool handles, and other small specialty wood objects. Micro-thin stock is cut to size from quality, kiln-dried stock. 100% clear and sanded on both sides. Dimensions are +- 1/8" grain runs with the longest dimension.

Features:

  • Unique reddish orange color
  • Turns well
  • Finishes well
  • Padauk, 3/4" x 3" x 24"

Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.

Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

    Easily worked

    Wood had fantastic color and grain. Worked well. Pieces received were flat, but rough cut on the sides. Plan on loosing a little width to clean up edges. Will use again.

    Bad piece of padauk

    The very expensive piece of Padauk had a huge white strip of wood down the side. I realize wood varies, but for the premium I paid, I expected a quality piece of wood. That is exactly what I was afraid of, I don't think I would buy online again. Everything else was fine.
