4/4 African Padauk Lumber – 5-Pack | Kiln-Dried Exotic Hardwood | S2S
African Padauk is one of the most visually striking exotic hardwoods available — instantly recognizable by its brilliant orange-red colour that deepens and darkens into a rich reddish-brown as it ages and oxidizes. Few hardwoods make the kind of immediate visual impact that fresh Padauk does, and its colour transformation over time gives finished pieces an evolving, living quality that keeps them interesting for years. With a Janka hardness rating of ~1,725 lbf, it pairs exceptional hardness with a surprisingly approachable price point — making it one of the best value exotic hardwoods on the market.
This 4/4 stock is surfaced 2 sides (S2S) and works beautifully with both hand and power tools. Keep blades sharp to navigate its interlocking grain cleanly, and take advantage of its excellent gluing and finishing properties for a result that polishes to a magnificent, lustrous shine. Whether you're new to exotic hardwoods or a seasoned woodworker, Padauk is an accessible and rewarding species to work with.
