Padauk Platter Blank - One of a Kind

Premium Padauk Turning Blank

It’s rare to find high-quality turning wood with these dimensions! We have a limited quantity of Padauk Platter Blanks in the dimensions below. These blanks are 2” thick, with a wide circumference for you to carve something large and exceptional. This blank has already been kiln dried and is ready to be "turned" into your next great project! 

You don’t get much more bang for your buck as you do with African Padauk. It’s relatively inexpensive (for an import), looks great and it has a light, pleasant odor when worked. The heartwood ranges from a light pink/orange to a dark red/brown. The colours are at their most vibrant when the boards are freshly worked but will change to a dark brown/purple colour over time. It doesn’t take much sanding or scraping to get the original color back.

Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour.

Recommended Finish

We recommend using Honey Bee's Natural Wood Cream for a long lasting and food safe finish. Made with only 2 ingredients - pure beeswax and 100% food grade mineral oil - this soft paste is easy to spread and will protect and enhance the natural beauty of your woodturning project.
