A vibrantly coloured pen blank crafted from Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii), a striking West African hardwood celebrated for its extraordinary vivid orange-red colouring. One of the most eye-catching timbers available to pen turners, Padauk produces pens with a bold, warm presence that is truly hard to ignore.
Wood Characteristics
- Colour: Vivid bright orange-red when freshly cut, mellowing over time to a rich reddish-brown with continued light exposure — still striking at any stage
- Grain: Straight to interlocked with a moderately coarse, open texture and a natural lustre
- Hardness: Hard and dense — excellent durability and a solid, quality feel in the hand
- Finish: Polishes to a good natural lustre; the vivid colour is best preserved under a UV-resistant finish
- Workability: Turns very well with sharp tools — a very satisfying wood to work with
Supplied
- Size: Approx 20 × 20 × 150mm
