Padauk Lumber Board – 3/4″ x 3″ (2 pcs)

Padauk starts out a bright orange and slowly deepens to a rich brown-red as it ages. That color change is one of the things woodworkers love most about it. This listing is a lumber board cut to 3/4 inch thick and 3 inches wide, and it comes as a set of 2 pieces.

This African hardwood is hard, dense, and very stable once it is dry. It cuts clean, glues well, and takes a smooth finish with little fuss. The grain is mostly straight with an open, slightly coarse feel, so it sands flat and shows off that warm color under oil or a clear coat. Two matched pieces at this size are handy for small box parts, trim, inlay strips, cutting board accents, and other detail work.

• Size 3/4 inch thick by 3 inches wide
• Set of 2 lumber boards
• Padauk hardwood with bold orange-red color

If you want a wood that brings real color to a project without paint or dye, Padauk will make you smile every time you open the shop.
