Padauk


Continent

Afrika
Origin
Africa
Range
West Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Zaire, Angola, lower tropical rain forests. Different from the Burma Padauk, the Asia Padauk, which is less common.

Properties

The heartwood is lustrous coral-red to red-brown, even orange-brown and most decorative. The flitches call for intensive cooking and the veneers must be completely covered when stored otherwise the wood quickly darkens.

Machining

Padauk can be easily worked with both hand and machine tools. Tool blades are not dulled by crystalline deposits.

Seasoning
Low shrinkage permits tensionless drying but this must be slow and controlled.

Finishing

Due to its color and texture this species of wood is excellently suited for polishing. Ultraviolet resistant varnishes prevent the brilliant red wood from darkening down too quickly.

Jointing

Glue joints are durable. Pre-drilling screw and nail joints is of advantage.
