Padauk Rough Sawn Pack - 4/4 x 3" x 30" - 4 Piece

African Padauk (pterocarpus soyauxii) is a 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. The grain is generally straight to slightly interlocked with a fine to medium texture. 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. A popular hardwood among hobbyist woodworkers because of its unique color, some common uses for Padauk include: cabinetry, furniture, veneer, interior paneling, flooring, turned objects, musical instruments, tool handles and other small specialty wood objects. Rough-sawn lumber often requires additional processing, such as planing, sanding, and jointing, to achieve a smooth and finished surface.

Notes:

• 4/4 lumber, also known as "four-quarter" lumber, refers to a common size designation for rough-cut hardwood boards in the lumber industry. The term "4/4" represents the thickness of the lumber, indicating that it is approximately 1 inch thick when rough-sawn. However, the actual thickness may vary slightly due to the milling process.
