Padauk Turning Blank Squares – 1.5″ x 1.5″

These padauk turning blanks bring bold color straight to the lathe. Fresh cut, this wood is a bright orange-red that few other woods can match. Over time it deepens to a warm reddish brown, so each piece keeps changing as it ages.

These blanks are cut to 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch squares. That size is a sweet spot for pens, small spindles, bottle stoppers, and other little turned pieces. Padauk is a hard, dense wood with a fairly straight grain, so it cuts clean on the lathe and takes a smooth finish. Sand it up and the color really pops. A bit of oil or a clear topcoat makes it glow.
