Description

The colour of Padauk heartwood can range from light orange to dark brownish red. Most pieces often begin freshly cut reddish-orange and gradually deepen over time to a reddish-brown colour (some lighter pieces age to a greyish brown). Though normally straight, grain can occasionally be interlaced. with a good natural shine and a rough, open texture. The wood is categorised as very robust to durable with exceptional decay resistance. Additionally, termites and other pests cannot do harm to padauk.

Often imported as turning and craft blanks, timber is available in a range of lengths and thicknesses.
