Hard, dense and strong, it is also an excellent performer in use, with good resistance to wear and a natural stability that makes it well suited to handled items. It works well with both hand and machine tools, carves cleanly and finishes to a smooth, vibrant surface under oil or lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver time, Padauk’s colour deepens and mellows from vivid orange-red to a rich, warm reddish-brown — a natural process that gives finished pieces a distinguished, aged quality that many makers prize highly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Padauk (\u003cem\u003ePterocarpus soyauxii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 150 × 150 × 30mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiln dried hardwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawn timber — supplied as sawn, ready for shaping and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid timber blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for carving, shaping and sanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for walking stick and cane making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking stick handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrook walking sticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShepherd’s crooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiking staffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood carving projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatement handmade gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want a crook handle that makes a bold statement, Padauk is hard to beat — few timbers combine such striking colour with genuine strength and workability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Timber is a natural product and may contain variations in colour and grain.
