Padauk Characteristics & Uses

Padauk is known for its beautiful orange to reddish-brown color and unique grain patterns. It is a hard, durable wood that is easy to cut, sand, glue, and finish. Over time, its color may become deeper and richer.

Padauk is great for:

  • Furniture and home projects: Tables, cabinets, shelving, trim, handles, and accents
  • Kitchen and serving items: Cutting boards and serving boards
  • Crafts and small projects: Boxes, signs, inlays, and decorative pieces
  • Specialty woodworking: Turning projects and musical instruments

Our Padauk boards are available in two convenient milling options:

  • S4S (Surfaced Four Sides): Cleanly cut and finished on all four sides, making these boards ready to use for DIY projects, furniture, shelving, crafts, and more.
  • S2S1E (Surfaced Two Sides and One Edge): Smooth on both faces with one straight, clean edge. This economical option gives woodworkers more flexibility for additional milling, shaping, and custom sizing.

Samples are also available, allowing you to inspect the natural color, grain, texture, and character of Padauk before placing a larger order.
