Padauk Plank PAD34 — 605×118×24mm

Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii)

Padauk is one of the most immediately recognisable hardwoods in the world — its vivid red-orange heartwood is striking fresh from the saw and matures to a rich reddish-brown with age. Dense, stable, and pleasingly easy to work, padauk is as practical as it is beautiful, making it a favourite for furniture, turning, inlay, and decorative joinery.
