Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you finish Padauk wood?

    The wood sands easily, but for a glass-smooth finish, we recommend a paste wood filler or sealer to even out its open grain. Clear finishes should contain an ultraviolet inhibitor to reduce PADAUK's tendency to darken.

  • What does African padauk look like?

    African PADAUK. Color/Appearance: Heartwood 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 (some lighter pieces age to a grayish brown).

  • How do you pronounce Padauk wood?

    It’s a popular hardwood among hobbyist woodworkers because of its unique color and low cost. PADAUK is perhaps the most frequently misspelled (and mispronounced) wood species, with Padouk, Paduk, and Paduak being common misspellings. The most common pronunciation is pah-DUKE, it is sometimes mispronounced as Paducah—a city in Kentucky.

  • What are the different types of Padauk?

    African PADAUK ( P. soyauxi ), sometimes referred to as vermillion, is the only PADAUK species readily available today.

  • What is African Padauk wood?

    Ironically, the chemical cocktail that makes African PADAUK (Pterocarpus soyauxii) distasteful to insects and fungi contributes to the color that makes it practically irresistible to woodworkers. One of the most strikingly colorful woods, PADAUK is widely esteemed for its bold red-and-orange heartwood.

  • Does padauk turn brown over time?

    PADAUK turns a deep-brown color with only hints of its red-orange core. Even finish barely slows the color change. Ask your hardwood dealer for Chakte Viga ( Caesalpinia platyloba ). Though it, too, will darken over time, this Latin American wood retains its red-orange color longer than PADAUK.

  • Does padauk change color after machining?

    Unfortunately, Ralph, nearly all brightly colored woods, including PADAUK, will change colors fairly quickly after machining. PADAUK turns a deep-brown color with only hints of its red-orange core. Even finish barely slows the color change.
