Although these boards have been skipped dress to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our S4S Padauk Lumber.
*We always try to include the widest boards we have available at the time that meet the Rough Cut Lumber Pack specifications. Approximate board count is based on an average size of 6" x 48". Actual amount of boards will vary depending on widths available at time of fulfillment. Have a question? Send us an Email.
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. This species also takes on a wicked shine when worked with high-angle planes or scrapers. This is a fantastic choice if you are new to exotics so have fun with it.
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.
It works well with hand and power tools, but beware, the grain can be interlocked which can lead to tearout if your tools aren’t sharp. You should have no problems gluing this wood or having finish stick which makes it a great beginner exotic. It also smells nice with a light, aromatic quality. Fair warning, you will have colourful dust everywhere so don’t hesitate to wear a mask.

Beautiful lumber!!! I will be ordering much more😊👍😊
Nice wood, just as advertized!
What a great looking wood Padauk is! The grains in these particular pieces are more pronounced than say blood wood. The pieces I received are very solid and no signs of surface defects, knots or disease. The 8/4 rough cut was a lot better than rough as far as other dealers I have used in the past! KJP is going to the top of my go to list for service , price and shipping (although the fedex driver hates me now)!
A bit thinner then others and not much grain pattern. So great option for staining or painting.
Excellent blades. No tear out on the bottom when cutting plywood. They hold up very well in many different hardwoods.
this is the first time purchasing this and it is great. Works well and great color Love the folks at KJP
