{"product_id":"padauk-bowl-blank","title":"Padauk Bowl Blank","description":"\u003cp\u003ePadauk is a striking exotic hardwood instantly recognisable for its vivid orange-red colour — one of the most vibrant natural tones found in any timber. It mellows over time to a rich reddish-brown, but freshly worked it is truly eye-catching. Dense and stable with a straight to interlocked grain, it turns very well on the lathe and produces a naturally smooth, lustrous surface that needs little effort to bring to a superb finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: African Padauk (\u003cem\u003ePterocarpus soyauxii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: West \/ Central Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Vivid orange-red when freshly cut, mellowing to rich reddish-brown with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Straight to interlocked — controlled cuts recommended for best finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns very well, sands to a naturally lustrous surface, takes oils and waxes beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplied\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut square for easy mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnds waxed to minimise moisture loss and reduce checking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes are approximate and shown in inches (length × width × thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Wood Room","offers":[{"title":"6x6x2 square","offer_id":58001944346969,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x8x2 round","offer_id":58001944379737,"sku":null,"price":11.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/9125A3AF-4B5C-4D39-ABF9-13268C95EEB6.jpg?v=1779625341","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/padauk-bowl-blank","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
