PADOUK, AFRICAN

Distinctive among Imported wood, this Padouk lumber displays a vibrant reddish-orange heartwood that gradually deepens into a rich purplish-brown over time, set against a contrasting pale yellow sapwood. This Imported Padouk lumber typically features a straight to slightly interlocked grain alongside a coarse, open texture and a striking natural luster. It is highly valued for its exceptional natural rot resistance, providing outstanding durability for various indoor and protected applications. When being machined or sanded, the material naturally emits a faint, pleasant scent.

During fabrication, this Padouk wood offers excellent workability with standard hand and machine tools, though care is necessary to avoid surface tearout on pieces containing interlocked grain. Functioning as a high-quality Import lumber, it is available with standard industry certifications supporting sustainable forestry practices. The material readily accepts glue, turns efficiently on a lathe, and finishes beautifully for high-end results. Interested in this product? Please Contact us for current product availability in-stock.
